S-10 Pioneer Section

Purpose of Pioneers Section 

  The purpose of the Pioneers Section (S10) is to create a ISL Section for youths to learn skills and have events especially for them, to be with other liked minded youths that are interested in learning all types of skills that will aid them in being self-sufficient and teach team work as well as life skills.  The possibilities are endless. This is not a typical “Scouting” club, the Pioneers will have the skills offered and taught to them that other organizations no longer do. As the Pioneer grows in skills and experience, they will be allowed to join the other Sections when they turn 18 years old.

 Responsibilities of the Pioneers Section 

The Pioneers have many responsibilities in and out of their Section. They not only have the responsibilities within their own Section, but can be assigned to assist other Sections especially, if their parents or legal guardians are in another Section and they require assistance from them. Many of the skills the Pioneers learn are hands on, which is the easiest way for most people to learn a subject matter. Pioneers will learn many different subjects and can fulfill specific roles within the Section if they so choose.

Organizational Structure

  Pioneers are highly encouraged to participate in ISL activities with a partner.  We call these ‘Buddy Teams”, Buddy Teams are teams that help each other out and they learn and train together. It’s always safer and more productive to learn with a Buddy.

Buddy Team- 2 people

Fire Team -4 people

Squad- 8 people

  Each Fire Team will choose a Team Leader, and they are in charge of not only themselves but their overall team as well as, skills, readiness, planning activities for their team. Each member will learn basic skills such as land navigation, basic communication, fire starting, shelter building, water gathering and purifying, basic first aid, knife sharpening, marksmanship, night orienteering, teamwork, working together with their parents that are in other ISL Sections, and learning the whole ISL structure as they grow.

  Many other topics and adventures are planned for the Pioneers (S10) as we continue to grow, our children are our most important assets in the ISL, we do everything possible to make sure our future, in our children are well protected and nourished so they can all reach their full potential and help humanity as they mature.
