What does SCOUTS SA do?
We prepare young people
with skills for life
Through an exciting programme, youth develop character traits like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid. This enables many of them to get out of poverty and have a better future for themselves and their families. However, many cannot afford to participate.
