GUIDELINES FOR EDITING A SCOUT VIDEO


The purpose of a scout video is to share with our friends and families a scouting year
of events, camps, activities, stories, and group lifestyle and spirit.

1. QUALITY SELECTION – FORM & CONTENT


When you select your picture and videos, make sure you have quality: quality in the form and especially quality in
the content.
 Choose pictures and videos with high resolution.
 Choose pictures and videos that show the best moments and reflect the SDL values.
 Choose pictures and videos that include most of your members.

Use Avoid
 Active  Any situation that might make our scouts feel
 Adventurous uncomfortable (sometimes while eating,
 Fun sleeping, in their swimsuits or underwear,
 Helping out while showering,…)
 Friendly  Moments of privacy/intimacy
 Youthful  Awkward or artificial looking shots
 Spiritual  No context
 Happy  Out of focus and poorly framed
 Interactive  Shots without human interest
 Teaching or passing on skills  Selfies without purpose
 Inspiring  …
 Focused on people
 Citizenship oriented NO FOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NOT IN-LINE WITH SDL

group life style or any creative idea affect your coming scout activities.

Example of a video structure


1. SDL Logo
2. Introduction
3. Report of the past year
 “Ouverture”
 Activities per scout unit
 Group activities
 Miscellaneous activities
 “Départs”
4. Conclusion

A video does not need to be complicated or expensive, and anyone can do it. Creative ideas and a good
understanding of what scouting stands for are more important than high-end equipment.

3. HAPPY EDITING
Keep your edit short and ensure it communicates your messages.
Remember your audience will have limited time and patience and lots of other things during the "Ouverture"
 Use Official SDL logo Horizontal or vertical (Logo available on SDL KRAAL)
 Font size needs to be readable and consistent through the video.
 Video Size: Full HD (1920×1080px)
 Frame rate: 25 fps up to 60 fps.
 All videos are horizontally shot.
 Avoid fast transitions between images.
 Use 22 images / minute to give people time to understand what's in the picture.
 Add section breaks or separators (Louvettes, Louveteaux, Eclaireurs, etc.) to help transition from a
section to another.

A video reflects the values of "Les Scouts du Liban" in the group life for the past year… spirituality, environment,
friendship, hospitality, education, leadership, and teamwork...

4. ENGAGING MUSIC
Music brings identity, energy, and pace to your video… choose it carefully.
 Scout songs should be available in all scout activities during the video.
 Non-scout music should be chosen carefully, and lyrics respect the SDL values (instrumental version
can be used)
 Non-scout songs can be used mainly for the introduction, separators, and conclusion.
