Preparing young people for life

In the contemporary world, youth empowerment is an oft-used expression, which has many different definitions depending on the context in which it is being used. It is often referred to as a mere intergenerational process and its’ true meaning is missed.

Climate Change - Take Action Now!

A guide to supporting the local actions of children and young people, with special emphasis on girls and young women.

The world’s population is young, with some 2.2 billion people under the age of 18.

We believe that by recognizing the rights and capacities of girls and boys, young women and young men, the challenges posed by climate change can be turned into opportunities for sustainable development.

“Leadership. Innovation. Service.”

Resolutions adopted by the World Scout Conference are important since they inevitably shape the work of both the WSC and the WSB for the period until the next World Scout Conference. One should not forget, however, that these Resolutions represent only a part of the work of the WSC and WSB since they deal with specific topics or themes and fall within a much larger and wider scope of work which stretches beyond the period between two World Conferences.

Them ’n Us - A toolkit on diversity in Scouting

In order to illustrate ethnic diversity, this book includes perspectives on ethnicity, religion, culture, Scout culture and outdoor life. It is an addition to literature already xisting on diversity but excludes issues like sexuality, functional impairment, social diversity and gender equality. This book presents some facts on various cultures and religions. It is good to know facts but nevertheless we advise you not to take these facts for granted. People are different – we are individuals first and foremost.
