Project 3L: Life Long Learning Project 3L provides opportunities for girls and young women to learn life skills so they are better equipped to reach their fullest potential in the changing world. The Project 3L grants are funded by the Friends of Asia Pacific WAGGGS(FAPW). Running since 2004, 3L Projects have benefitted thousands of girls and young women to date. Some of the projects generate new income for the Member Organizations as a result of project funded. Some of them bring extra income to help with the living cost of their families.

Nepal Scouts Project 3L 2020 With the declaration of Covid 19 as a Pandemic and the increasing number of cases, the schools remained closed for a long time. Large group activities of all organizations including Nepal Scouts had been halted. In such situation, Nepal Scouts had been continuing its activities through virtual platform. Few scout units of Urban and Semi urban areas were effectively conducting online sessions. A popular magazine” The Economist” recently published a report “Inclusive Internet Index 2019” which suggests that Internet use in Nepal are quite expensive as compared to that being used in other countries of the world. The data illustrates that the online activities of Nepal Scouts are in the reach of few girls and there are still many girls and young women who have been forced to stay inside the houses, deprived of internet facility, cheap internet services, enough devices, school closed and out of academic and learning environment. The pandemic and lockdown (partial and complete) have also moved some of the girls and young women into the threat of Domestic Violence. Altered lifestyles with no or less exposure to outdoor physical activities have affected the self-body images. Suicidal Cases are increasing day by day and the situation is making people hopeless and stressed. In all situations, girls and young women are highly vulnerable to harm and violation of their rights. In order to address the current issues, Nepal Scouts is implementing Project 3L 2020 entitled “Scouting for all: Any Situation, Any Where, Any How”

About the Activity Pack: “Scouting in the New Normal” The “Activity Pack Scouting in the New Normal” comprises of the activities based on the current issues faced by the youths as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The aim of this Activity Pack is to achieve the main aim of Project 3L; to engage and attract youths in Scouting Activities. In addition, this activity pack also expects to involve scouts as well as non – scouts from every nook and corner of Nepal in scouting activities in the new normal.
