Global with a focus on Africa & the Middle EastScouts for SDGs aims to ensure young people are fully aware of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and motivate them to take action, whilst also equipping them with the knowledge and skills to take active roles in their local communities in leading these actions for positive change. Actually, this work is built on three blocks:
Firstly- Inspiring and motivating (54) million young women and men worldwide in (171) countries to work to improve their communities, gain and spread awareness of the SDGs and directly contribute to achieving the SDGs.
Secondly-Enabling National Scout Organisations worldwide to improve their delivery of quality Scouting through at least 200 capacity strengthening projects at national and local level in the Africa and Arab Scout Regions, to ultimately ensure that more young people are engaged in and take action for the SDGs.
Thirdly- Supporting young people to lead and deliver 2 million actions in their communities, equating to 500 million hours of dedicated service by Scouts and their partners, to actively contribute to the SDGs.
