Network Gathering of Community Leaders
This May in Singapore, the Messengers of Peace Initiative will bring together over 50 of Scouting’s social media and web-communication leaders as part of developing our global Network for Messengers of Peace. Functioning as community leaders and multipliers, this core group will oversee the evolution of a truly new, innovative and inspirational Network for peace. A primary innovation will be a new interface with global Social Media Sites where Scouts already meet, communicate and share ideas.
