Our Values:
The idea of the scarf from the time when the founder of scouting, Robert Baden-Powell, was in Africa. At the time, its purpose was practical: It was to protect the neck from the strong rays of the sun during the day.
– March 13 : of each year: organization of the Africa Scouting Day. It is an opportunity for all Scouts and leaders to celebrate our successes, reflecting where we have been and where we are going, and how we can work together within our Movement and extend our impact in the communities where we live.
March 13 : is a date that was chosen by the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, OAU – a predecessor of the African Union (AU) – during its 62nd Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, June 21-23, 1995. This was in recognition of the role of Scouting in the education of African youth.
