6. Methods of personal development
To reach its developmental goals for
each scout, Plast has proven
methods which are part of scouting
activity agendas. The forms of
activities are varied. They can be
regular meetings of a riy or hurtok,
larger meetings of the hnizdo or
kurin, Cub Scout campfires or Scout
bonfires, field games, trips, camps,
and other activities. Each activity
consists of various elements, chiefly
games, songs, stories, crafts and
lectures.
Plast isn't school and has different
methods of education, which is why
Plast activities are referred to as a
game.

7. Methods of personal development
We will not describe here all the
elements of Plast activities, but we'd
like to inform you about methods of
development that include in their
programs more specific activities and
requirements.
Plast vmilosti, or merit badges, are such
methods. They are many and varied:
Nature, Ukrainian culture, arts such as
Singing and Acting, Mechanics, etc.
Merit badges are included in the
programs of Cub Scouts and Scouts with
the difference being that Scouts have
more requirements for obtaining a
given merit badge. There are many
merit badges that benefit from
vocational instructors who know not
only how to make their fields interesting
but can offer a greater depth of
knowledge.

8. Methods of personal development
One of the most important
methods of development is
Plast camps. A Plast camp is
the culmination of a year's
worth of scouting. The
camp program inherently
includes many different
methods of development.
Camp has a greater
developmental influence
and superiority over
shorter-lasting Plast
activities in the district.
Shared long-term living in
nature has a great influence
on group dynamics. Camp
teaches self-reliance,
resourcefulness, endurance
and discipline.

9. Uniform and decorations
Plast's system of training includes the Plast uniform and its decorations. The
Plast uniform imparts to the organization a nice standard appearance, and
gives its members a stronger feeling of membership and reminds them of their
Plast obligations. Therefore it is important to make sure the uniform is always
clean and in order.
On the shirts of their uniforms, members of Plast wear a number of
decorations that speak to membership in a certain branch and to the camps
they've attended. Decorations also signify which rank the scout has attained.
For each completed merit badge the scout also receives a decoration.
Therefore, the decorations of the uniform attest to the accomplishments of
each scout. This also encourages working to improve oneself and is an
effective method of personal development.
