What is Kids Outdoors
The Scout Association has recently launched the Kids Outdoors campaign which is aimed at getting more people, both young and old into the outdoors.
Theres never been a better time to get outdoors! We often see and hear in the media that young people are spending too much time playing computer games or watching TV. They are spending less and less time outside. We believe that young people who discover the freedom of the great outdoors are better prepared for the challenges of life through the skills they develop.
The KidsOutdoors campaign sets out a clear call to action; an identifiable need for a change in policy and practice on a range of levels - from Government policy to local youth groups.
The KidsOutdoors Campaign aims to inspire a million new outdoor adventures. We want to encourage young people to embrace outdoor activities it makes doing things outdoors a more attractive alternative to TV and computer games.
KidsOutdoors hopes to change perceptions of todays young people and challenge them to spend more time outdoors .Young people and children who spend time outdoors are healthier and less overweight and outdoor activities bring children and young people together from across different schools and social classes.
One of KidsOutdoors core principles is that it exists to help young people develop into future citizens through adventure, international friendship and the opportunity to change the world for good.
KidsOutdoors is national initiative, integrated fully with current Government agendas on childhood obesity. For more information go to kidsoutdoors.com
