Description

Just like plants in a garden, believes and values have roots, stalks, and leaves. How does your garden grow?

All plants have a humble aim: to survive and grow;
but every plant is different, that’s something we all know.
Some plants welcome insects, with flowers blooming bright;
others have thorns to give a mighty floral fight.
Some plants have deep roots, to take water from the ground,
others have big leaves to gather rain that tumbles down.
Some plants stand alone, on the hills and mountains high,
other plants cling on tight before they wind and climb.
Some plants bear tasty fruits for animals to eat,
Others can be poisonous – they’re the ones to leave.

Instructions

Everyone should get some paper and coloured pens or pencils.
Everyone should imagine that they’re a plant. They should draw or write their features on their piece of paper. How does their plant represent them?
We’ve included some suggestions below.
Everyone should come together as a group and share their plants. What do they have in common?
Everyone should think about how their plants could help them to support each other. How could they use their talents to support others with the things they find tricky?

Everyone should think about how different people are a bit like different plants – they all have unique skills and features that they use for different reasons. How can people do their best to have a balance of fruit and thorns?
Everyone should think about how plants can work together – for example, it’s not helpful if one plants takes all the light and leaves others in the darkness. How can everyone help each other to succeed?
Everyone should think about how when people share their beliefs and values, they often find that they have things in common. There are often times people can help and support each other. It’s important to remember that everyone’s equally important – get the light that you need, and help others to get what they need too.
The person leading the section should thank everyone for taking part in the Scout’s Own, whether they took a big or small part in planning, leading, or joining in.
