Many Scouts will recognise the experience of putting a lot of preparation into a particular activity. After the activity the only feedback tends to be ‘it was good’ or ‘it was bad’ or ‘it was ok’. This can be disheartening for the Scout after all his/her efforts. This is why we need to review. Everybody can learn from their experiences if we review our experiences in a planned and co-ordinated fashion.

Reviewing is a process of learning from the experience, or enabling other to do so. Reviewing helps a person to get more from their interaction with others, life and recreation – especially if the person knows how to review an experience and can then match their learning to their dreams and ambitions
