Personal Reflection discussions should be quite short, can be conducted by youth and adults, and be as natural as practical, although cards featuring the Scout Method and SPICES are useful conversation starters. The discussions provide opportunities for Scouts to consider their:

time in the age section
learnings
achievements
key milestones
key decisions
completed activities
contribution to creating a better world
