Scouting For Wild Ones: A Comprehensive Curriculum

Whether you are just starting to explore the natural world or have been for years, Scouting for Wild Ones is a fun and straightforward way to get your family or group active and engaged outdoors. The subject of scouting includes aspects of Citizenship, geography, handicrafts, nature study and more. As a homeschooler or a weekend explorer, you will find this course will give your children a foundation for important life skills and encourage a love for natural space spaces and wild creatures. Brittney McGann has complied all of her work and research from teaching her own scouting groups into a scripted format to make lessons easy for you. Lessons also include group activities and personal challenges to encourage independence and self direction. Children as young as six will find themselves capable and adults will find that they are challenged to hone their senses and learn alongside the scouts.

Scouting for Wild Ones can be completed over the course of a year or more with family style groups. This scouting course offers scripted lessons and hands on activities to give an introduction to outdoor life. Scouts have the opportunity to earn badges thru skill tests (badge stickers sold separately). It is the goal of this particular scheme of scouting to first teach the children to noice, and then to marvel at the world around them through lessons in observation, animal, stalking, and tracking. Later, scouts will develop more complex skills like compass work, knot tying, making camp, and weather predictions.

“When stripped downs to its most basic idea, the object of scouting is simply this: to teach the scout to care. If he can be taught to care, about his family, his friends and all created things- it follows naturally that out of this care- this love, he would have a desire to serve and to do his duty.” – Brittney McGann

“What I LOVE”

What I love about A Gentle Feast is that it makes Charlotte Mason accessible to me. With my ADHD it would take me hours to research and decide on what feast to lay out. I love that the heart of the curriculum lends itself to adaptability.

“given me a great rthythm”

I love how A Gentle Feast has given a great rhythm to our weeks and helped me become more organized! I was the “too relaxed” homeschooler before finding AGF, and I was all over the place with when we did lessons. Thank you for creating an attainable, interesting feast that even this frazzled Mom can implement and enjoy.

“gain a love for learning”

I knew I wanted my daughter to have a CM education. It seemed unattainable and intimidating. AGF makes CM’s philosophies so approachable and laying the feast seamless for us. I’ve seen my daughter truly gain a love for learning and grow in her confidence in areas where she felt defeated before.

“i get love, support and encouragement”
A Gentle Feast offers amazing living book suggestions and the already-thought-of plans provide a guide that helps us stay the course. But the most valuable thing I get from AGF is the love, support, and encouragement from Julie and my fellow homeschooling mamas in this community
