A VISION
Creating a better world
GLOBAL ADVOCACY
TAKING ACTION AT LOCAL LEVEL
Scouting has a universal responsibility worldwide but has an advantage in that it is both global and local. The famous slogan “Think globally, act locally� easily applies to the Scout Movement. World Scouting is active in many areas of global importance, including:
As the NGO community takes action to support the recognition of a global cause, the entire Scout Movement could take action on a specific day to a specific cause, thus affirming its unity, global nature, ability to take action locally, and the universal nature of its values. Some of the important issues that Scouting deals with at a local level are:
- Understanding the effects of globalisation
- The fight against social exclusion
- Agriculture and food production
- Sustainable development
- Equal opportunities for men and women
- Emergency and humanitarian aid
- Cultural diversity
- Youth involvement and youth citizenship
- The rights of children and young people
- Youth policies
- Youth employability
- The promotion of non-formal education
- Responsible governance
- The promotion of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals
- The fight against racism
- Protection of the environment
- Clean drinking water
A MISSION
Educating young people to play a constructive role in society
- Literacy - Renewable energies - Street children - The acquisition of life skills - Professional training - Sanitation - Integration of people with disabilities - Fighting against child labour - Support for migrants and indigenous communities - Prevention and fight against AIDS
