Countries and Cultures That Reflect Enneagram Types
Boy Scouts: Enneagram Type 6 Culture
Why we think the Boy Scouts is a Type 6 culture
"Be Prepared." The Boy Scouts' motto emphasizes readiness and reliability.
The Scout Law. The twelve points of the Scout Law, which is a set of principles that Scouts are expected to live by, include trustworthiness, loyalty, obedience, bravery, and reverence.
The Scout Oath. The oath every member must take is one of duty to others, oneself, and one’s country.
Patrol System. The system for the organization of Scouts into small groups is all about a structured and organized environment. It promotes teamwork, trust, and a sense of belonging. All team members have specific roles and responsibilities with an emphasis on setting aside individual interests out of loyalty to the group.
The Fleur-de-lis. The universal emblem of scouting, the fleur-de-lis (a decorative symbol resembling a stylized lily flower that symbolizes strength and unity), is meant to guide Scouts in their duty and service. The three points of the Fleur-de-lis represent the three parts of the Scout Promise which appear in the Scout’s Oath – duty to God and country, duty to others, and duty to self.
