Scouts: Enabling Young People to Be Advocates

Our mission is to positively impact the well-being of 1.2 billion young people (ages 10-19) worldwide. We aim to positively influence their mental and physical well-being as they grow into fulfilled individuals, addressing challenges like social media, urbanization, and more. With over a century of experience, Scouts can provide crucial information, services and a safe space for young people and their communities to thrive. Through education, values, and a secure environment, we foster holistic development that aligns with evolving trends.

Seeking to promote healthier eating habits within your Youth Programme? The Nutrition challenge badge provides a valuable framework for Scouts to understand the importance of nutrients, develop healthy eating habits, and appreciate diverse nutritional needs. By implementing engaging activities and offering comprehensive resources, your NSO can equip Scouts with essential knowledge for lifelong well-being. Ready to inspire and educate the next generation? Explore the available resources and Challenge Pack to introduce the Nutrition badge into your national programme today.

The Mind Builders challenge prepares Scouts to handle any situation as it emphasizes building mental strength, resilience, emotional intelligence, and effective coping strategies. By integrating this challenge into your programme, Scouts can be guided on their journey to becoming mental health advocates within their communities. 

How to implement?

Your NSO has the power to be a force for positive change. Join the LifeLeaders initiative and guide young people on an educational journey to develop their competencies to excel in their lives and leave a lasting impact on their communities!
