Scouting with SOS Children

Scouts in GuatemalaAre you a Scout, Scout leader or Scout parent looking for ideas for the global zone of Scouting?

Caring for children in over 120 countries, a focus on the work of SOS Children is a good way to show scouts the challenges young people in other countries face, and to learn about possible solutions to poverty related problems.
