Bliss English Club

My Dear Blissers,

Parenting is always a human concerned issue!

Karl, an experienced Scout Troop Leader and two-kid father, has contributed all his passions and efforts on how to cultivate “Elite” generation in Taiwan, working together with other fathers and friends!

This coming Sat., his eagers to share such precious findings and secrets with us! Listen up!

Introduction from Karl:

If Searching for why the United States can remain the strongest country in the world, you will find thousands of links. Flowingly, you continue to notice some certain clue leading to the correct answer. That is, USA started the ELITEcultivation very early, even through a mystery group OA (order of the arrow) from 1912!

. 

The founder of the Boy Scouts Association Baden Powell once said "The wilderness is the "daytime" of the Scout Movement, camping is the "noon" of the wilderness activities, and campfire is the "pulse" of camping."

In Taiwan, although mountain Education Promotion and Implementation Plan is integrated into the curriculum of the middle school in full swing, do those outdoor activities help us to reach the same American goal, building “strong” characters in next generation ?
