Summary/Abstract: Scouting is one of those educational environments that have a clearly and unambiguously defined system of values in their assumptions. It has been modeled on the Ten Commandments and compiled in ten points of the Scout Law and the content of the Scout Promise, which children who join this movement make, having been prepared for the instillment of values that are binding on them throughout their lives. The article reports on diagnostic studies carried out among scouts and their instructors in the Lodz agglomeration. The purpose of the survey was to learn about the range of values recognized by them, so that they could be related to the values that are binding on scouts, and thus capture the degree of convergence with them. The main research question was: What values are recognized by scouts operating in the Lodz agglomeration? The results of the pilot survey are surprising, because they show scout educators that their influence on the young generation is not very effective.
