3rd Arab Parajamboree celebrates accessibility and youth empowerment

Scouts from across the Arab Region gathered to celebrate diversity and inclusion at the 3rd Arab Parajamboree, a unique event for young people of all abilities held from 6 to 14 December 2025 in Rabat, Morocco.

Organised by the Moroccan Scout Federation, in partnership with the Arab Scout Region and the Arab Scout Organization, and held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the camp welcomed around 150 young participants.

From the first day, the atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, connection, and curiosity. Scouts representing different countries and cultures came together with the shared goal of learning from one another and building an inclusive community where everyone belongs.

Throughout the week, participants took part in an engaging programme featuring educational and cultural workshops, adventure and exploration activities, team-building games, and field visits to discover Morocco’s cultural and natural heritage.  

Each activity was designed not only to be fun but also to build on Scouting’s core values of collaboration, empathy, and mutual respect. By working together, the Scouts developed their skills, discovered new talents, and challenged stereotypes, paving the way for a more inclusive society.

For many of the young participants, the Parajamboree was more than a camp. It offered a transformative and safe experience where every participant was seen, heard, and empowered to contribute. 

This year’s edition highlighted the role of Scouting in creating accessible spaces where young people of different abilities can participate together, develop their skills, and contribute actively within a supportive and respectful environment.
