Program

How do you engage scouts and guides with global issues, and motivate them to explore their relationship with and responsibilities towards others?

If we help children understand the relationships that connect us to people and places in other parts of the planet, they will learn that their decisions have impact at various locations around the world. With these specific programs, we can contribute to Scouts’ efforts to encourage inclusive, fair, and non-violent coexistence with the rest of the world, including nature, whose resources are limited.

Discuss the questions and evaluate your unit: name what you already do, evaluate it on the scale 1-6 (1=just by accident, 6=systematicaly and frequently). Based on your answers, Navigator will offer you some tips on how to improve.
