In this day and age character and citizenship are being stressed by such societies and agencies as The Boy Scouts of America, The Camp Fire Girls, The Young Men's' Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association. In the scouting program all activities are of a voluntary process. There is an age requirement connected with the scouting program so that a youngster can look forward to the time when he will be twelve years of age and can become a scout. In the first place it is of major importance that the applicant assume it a privilege to become a scout. In the second place, when, in the course of a short ceremony inducting him into the troop, he takes the Scout Oath and repeats the Scout Law, he is made to feel that he is not merely on the threshold of things to do but of things to be. In the third place he finds that he shares with a group a code that is not so much his duty as his privilege to guard and keep. The influencing of one's character is a complex affair. Scouting does its part in helping boys to acquire good habits of conduct.

There is a need for supplemental reference material of an in-depth, specific nature to suggest methods of general application to the novice film director. Because film production is such a highly collaborative art, craft, and business with limited opportunities open to beginners, the novice director can benefit a great deal from the documented experiences of another. This study will provide insight into the practical role of the film director in motion picture production. In this way, this study can influence directorial practice in a positive manner by offering a forewarning of potential production challenges and help the novice to avoid similar pitfalls as well as to capitalize on any successes realized. This study will characterize some important attributes a director may find it helpful to develop in facilitating his work with artistic, technical, and administrative specialists. This study also suggests means by which a filmmaker can work with producers and clients in making a film for a specific persuasive purpose. In doing so, it will suggest possible methods of defining a film's intent, methods of realizing this intent through the various production phases of scripting, filming, and editing, and methods of evaluating the success in conveying the intent to the target audience.

This study had two main purposes. Its first is to test the theoretical proposition that there is a carry-over into other systems of behavior as a result of group cohesion. For example, as scouting activities increased, Aaronic Priesthood activities increased. And according to the reference group theory, individuals join reference groups to fulfill certain needs, wants, goals, etc. In an active Boy Scout program many of these needs, wants, and goals are satisfied as the boys participate in the activities outlined by the Boy Scouts of America. Furthermore, once these needs are satisfied, change toward conformity tends to carry over into other systems of behavior.

El objetivo principal de esta tesis fue identificar y analizar las capacidades institucionales de la Asociación de Scouts del Perú (ASP) por medio de un diagnóstico organizacional y de esta manera, proponer acciones de fortalecimiento. Para la realización de este estudio se levantó información tanto a nivel primario como secundario a través de la lectura de documentos y la realización de entrevistas, cuestionarios y encuestas que permitieron conocer la percepción de los actores miembros de la ASP, tanto a nivel directivo como a nivel de voluntariado. Dicho trabajo de campo se realizó a nivel de todo el Perú poniendo énfasis en la sede central de Lima, debido a su gran concentración de voluntarios miembros de la ASP. En la primera parte se determina el marco teórico en el que se sustenta la tesis. La segunda parte de este trabajo describe el diseño de investigación utilizado. Una tercera sección corresponde a la presentación, análisis e interpretación de los datos recogidos. Dicha sección ha sido dividida en capítulos, cada uno de los cuales hace referencia a las capacidades organizacionales de: conducción, organizacional, comunicacional y de gerencia interna de recursos humanos de la ASP. Cada una de estas capacidades institucionales ha sido analizada según los indicadores establecidos para dicho análisis y se presentan los respectivos hallazgos encontrados durante la recolección de información. A continuación, en la cuarta parte se alcanzan las conclusiones finales sobre lo analizado. Finalmente, en las recomendaciones, se sugiere considerar la implementación de una propuesta de fortalecimiento de capacidades institucionales para la ASP. / Tesis

This study examines some of the ways in which Second World War veterans helped shape Canadian society in the years after 1945 by using the life experience of one of their number, Major-General Daniel Charles Spry, as an interpretive model. Just over one million Canadian men and women re-entered civil life after their wartime military service. Representing approximately 35 per cent of Canada’s adult male population aged 25 to 49 in 1951, and found in nearly every facet of Canadian life, Second World War veterans possessed social importance that extended far beyond their experience of the Veterans Charter. Using Dan Spry’s documented thoughts and actions in war and peace, this study argues that a number of these individuals learned lessons regarding leadership, character, citizenship, and internationalism during their wartime military service and – finding them useful – applied such lessons to various aspects of their lives after the war’s end. In so doing, Second World War veterans helped to influence the character of postwar Canada’s institutions, workplaces, and the lives of many Canadians by providing societal leadership, moulding children’s character, developing future citizens, and trying to build a better world. Appreciating their varied contributions provides new insight into both veterans’ attitudes and the sort of place that Canada was after the guns fell silent in 1945.

<div>The purpose of this research was to develop and validate an instrument designed to assess programming of youth development organizations. The instrument can be used by leaders of youth development organizations to monitor the organization’s performance in developing productive and engaged citizens. This research viewed youth development organizations as a microsystem that youth interact with (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). A complete review of the literature on youth development organizations was conducted to determine the components of positive youth development organizations. The resulting conceptual framework consisted of project, skills and knowledge, community contribution, high-density experiences, environment, non-parental adult, and near-peer role models.</div><div><br></div><div>An item pool was developed based on the literature available on youth development organization programming. This item pool was reviewed by experts in youth development organization programming and inclusion. Then the items were entered into two tools to assess grammar and concise language. Third, the items were administered to a small sample then analyzed for correlations and contributions to reliability. Items were eliminated if they correlated too highly with other items and if they did not contribute to the reliability of the scale. Fourth, the items were administered to a broader sample and correlations and reliability measures were analyzed again with more items removed. Finally, the items were administered to another sample and analyzed for multicollinearity and reliability. The final sample took the survey a second time and responses were compared based on paired t-tests to establish test-retest reliability.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The 15-item instrument exhibits appropriate measures of validity and reliability to recommend its usage by youth development organization leaders to evaluation programming. The instrument is parsimonious so leaders can add program-specific questions while avoiding participant fatigue. A complete version of the instrument is available in the appendices.</div>

El cerro San Cosme es el asentamiento humano más antiguo del Perú, con más de 74 años de fundación, está ubicado en el distrito limeño de La Victoria y según el INEI más del 12 por ciento de niños y adolescentes, que viven allí, están expuestos a la drogadicción y a la delincuencia. Ambos son problemas, entre otros, que afectan la convivencia en el asentamiento humano. El objetivo del presente trabajo es implementar un proyecto integral alternativo dirigido a este grupo etario vulnerable, focalizado en niños, niñas y adolescentes que, desde la comunicación para el desarrollo, involucren a todos los actores primarios y secundarios a fin de que proporcionen la sostenibilidad de este. Por ello, para la concepción del proyecto, se consideraron las opiniones y expectativas de los involucrados directos como son las dirigencias comunales, docentes, padres de familia, adolescentes, niñas y niños de San Cosme, a través de instrumentos de investigación cualitativa no probabilísticos por conveniencia como entrevistas, encuestas y grupos focales. De este modo se identificaron las necesidades para la implementación del proyecto, habida cuenta que ya existen actividades deportivas de la municipalidad de La Victoria dedicadas solo a la actividad física. Esta investigación ha identificado la necesidad de un desarrollo socio emocional que permita a los niños, niñas y adolescentes asumir su realidad de manera resiliente, más allá de la actividad física. La principal conclusión de la presente investigación muestra los beneficios de la participación activa de los niños, niñas y adolescentes en el movimiento scout para el refuerzo de sus valores desde etapas tempranas. / The mountain of San Cosme is the oldest human settlement of Peru, with over 74 years since its founding, is located in the district of La Victoria and, according to the INEI, over 12% of children and teenagers living there are exposed to crime and drug consumption. Both are described are issues, among others, that affect the residents’ coexistence in the settlement. The objective of the presented project is to implement an alternative integration project focused to the selected vulnerable age group, which is composed of boys, girls and teenagers. Through communication focused on their development, this project will include both primary and secondary factors with the purpose of promoting sustainability for them. Because of that, the elaboration of this project included both the opinions and expectations of the individuals involved, which included the community’s leaders, teachers, parents, teenagers, girls and boys of the settlement, through the use of tools of non-probabilistic for convenience qualitative research such as interviews, questionnaires and focal groups. Through this method, the needs for this project’s implementation were shown, by taking into account the already existing sport activities offered by the Municipality of La Victoria, dedicated only to physical activity. This investigation has identified the need for a socio emotional development that allows boys, girls and teenagers to assume their reality in a resilient manner, beyond mere physical activity. The main conclusion of the present investigation shows the benefits of active participation of boys, girls and teenagers in the Scout Movement in order to reinforce their values from early stages.
