This program, conducted in Hebrew, helps youth and teens develop physically, intellectually, and socially, through age-specific activities including games, discussions, projects, camping trips, ceremonies, holiday celebrations, music, sport, and fun!
Being a youth-led movement, veteran scouts (ages 15-18) become counselors for younger members and experience the responsibility and leadership of guiding others. In winter and summer, each troop travels to an overnight camp to participate nature hikes, sports events, and scouting activities.
