Messengers of Peace Orientation The Messengers of Peace (MoP) initiative started the promotion of dialogue, peace and social entrepreneurship in 2011. This program is led by the World Organisation of the Scouting Movement (WOSM) and through this program, Scouts will become Global Active Citizens involved in their local communities. With the support and enthusiasm of thousands of Scouts, and Scout leaders, around the world, MoP has grown and is reaching and impacting at the local, national and global level. Thus, enabling Scouts to strengthen the Youth Program in countries and simultaneously address local issues in a wider scale. The MoP initative has proven to be a realisation of one of Baden-Powell’s vision when he created Scouting – to be a “Global Network of Service” as he called it. Today, the Messengers of Peace Initiative has become an inspiration. It presents in a comprehensive and explicit way the educational objectives of this inspirational call for action, and the practical elements for its implementation in each country. The impact or results of this effort is amplified when teamed with members of Scouts, local community, civil society and non-governmental organisations; as well as with local and national governmental institutions. The Messengers of Peace Programme has aligned efforts with the World Scout Environment Programme (WSEP) and the Scouts of the World Award (SWA). They are now integrated into the Better World Framework, uniting Scouts across the world through community involvement to become active global citizens. We hope you will enjoy your personal journey as much as we do, and we hope you will find this guideline useful in your personal progression as a Scout, active citizen and Messenger of Peace.
