Messengers of Peace on social media

Scouts worldwide are spreading their initiatives, projects and ideas on a social media Messengers of Peace network involving more than 50,000 people.

Social media refer to specific online means of interaction among people with the possibility to create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities. To benefit from this global virtual world, with no time or space boundaries, the MoP network is engaging and empowering all Scouts and non-Scouts by delivering daily contents through channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+, with news about projects, tips, tutorials, facts, and all types of information to help create a better world.

These social media work as a complement to our global platform, which is the main centre for MoP information and projects.

Just search for Scout Messengers of Peace and join our global network of peace builders.
