Ireland are “Leaders not followers” in the promotion of Scouting
Educating young people to become leaders not followers is a core function of Scouting, and has become the focus of a huge campaign that has been launched across Ireland. This campaign uses giant billboards to highlight a number of stories from around the world plus two local stories of Irish Scout Groups who have traveled to foreign locations and made a difference.
The “Leaders not followers” campaign, targeted at young people aged 10-16, highlights some of the work undertaken by Scouts worldwide to help combat social exclusion in developing countries. Across the globe, millions of young people in Scout Groups in 155 countries, undertake simple good deeds and acts of kindness which collectively change society for the better.
Commenting on the campaign initiative, Scouting Ireland Communications Director Garrett Flynn said “Scouting affords young people the opportunity to develop their leadership and decision-making skills with great experiences in the outdoors. It also allows them contribute in a meaningful way to social inclusion and community building at home and abroad.”
