Due to the interest of starting a preschool with a scout profile in my circle of acquaintances I chose to write my report about how the scout method would work in a preschool. I did this by comparing the origin of scouting and preschool. I based my report on the following questions:

• Are there any similarities or differences with curriculum, education act and the scout method that can make it easier/harder to work with the scout method in the preschool?
• There are many theorists that have had influence on the preschool. Give some examples of their theories that could affect the scout preschool?
• What is the difference between a teacher and a scout leader?
• What would a preschool look like if you included the scout method in the daily activity?

With the help of my literature studies I compared the scout method against the laws and rules to make sure that the scout method doesn’t contradict them. The result I came to is that you can work by the scout method in a preschool.I base this on that the education act is a law, the curriculum is a guideline and the scout method is the basic principles. This means that you can have the scout method as the basic principles of a preschool.
