Currently, these activities exhibit problems such as formalization, prominent utilitarianism, and insufficient intelligence. The traditional activity model, lacking innovation and a sense of participation, struggles to meet the diverse needs of teenagers and fails to reflect the inherent educational value of Young Pioneers’ activities. To return to the essence of Young Pioneers’ activities, centered on the growth and development needs of members, the study should be based on children’s subjective needs, adhere to the principle of individualized development, and integrate digital technology to implement Young Pioneers’ activities, aiming to achieve the value adjustment of these activities.
