THE KENYA SCOUTS ASSOCIATION Messengers of Peace Aim of Messengers of Peace Messengers of Peace (MoP) is a global flagship project of WOSM that aims to inspire millions of young men and women throughout the world to work for the cause of Scouting: Creating a Better World! It promotes young people as Leaders for Life – in their communities and in the world.
What do we mean by "Peace"? The concept of peace as defined by the Scout Movement encompasses three different dimensions: ? The personal dimension: harmony, justice and equality ? The community dimension: peace as opposed to hostility or violent conflict ? Relationships between humankind and its environment: security, social and economic welfare and relationship with the environment
Any Scout that has participated in a project which has had a significant impact on the community in any one of the three dimensions above can qualify as a Messenger of Peace.
