Diversity & Inclusion

Organisations need to be supported in addressing key challenges of their communities related to migration, diversity and social inclusion. Scouting is inclusive, respecting differences in gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability. Our young and adult volunteers are powerful agents of social change in the world; their support is essential for their engagement in these issues. Adapting their non-formal educational programmes to be able to provide all young people with meaningful opportunities, reaching out to young people from socially excluded and culturally diverse backgrounds will be the main issues that will be tackled by the group.

#ScoutRESPECT Social Media Campaign

Launched in 2015, the #ScoutRESPECT Social Media Campaign aims to raise awareness in the areas of diversity, inclusion and accessibility in Scouting. Between Spring 2015 and Summer 2016, a special slogan & image will draw the readers’ attetnion to this import area of work.
