On 20 September 2025, delegates at the 19th Africa Scout Conference in Madagascar elected four voting members to serve on the Africa Scout Committee for the 2025–2028 Triennium. The election was preceded by a series of engagements with the candidates before and during the Conference, during which 10 nominees presented their vision to represent the 42 National Scout Organizations across the Africa Scout Region.
 
The Africa Scout Committee functions as the governance body of the Africa Scout Region within the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). It is one of three key constitutive bodies of Scouting in Africa, alongside the Africa Scout Conference and the World Scout Bureau Africa Support Centre. The Committee is tasked with implementing the decisions of the Africa Scout Conference and acting on its behalf between its meetings.
 
From the 10 nominated candidates, the following four individuals were elected as members of the Africa Scout Committee (listed alphabetically by first name):
 
  • Fanny Ornella Agahozo - Rwanda
  • Hamidou Soumana Diallo Oumarou- Niger
  • Isaiah Marikopo – Zimbabwe
  • Leonilde Antonieta Tavares Lima - Cape Verde
 
Their mandate will begin at the conclusion of the 19th Africa Scout Conference and will run until the close of the 20th Africa Scout Conference in 2028. Learn more about the newly elected members here
