Scouting4Peace.org

The official Scouting4Peace Website, www.scouting4peace.org, provides a forum for scouts to build friendships and discuss topics relating to peace, scouting, and the environment. It's the heart and soul of Scouting4Peace Foundation. Its overall goals are:

• To spread peace regionally and worldwide through intercultural dialogue
• To share information about current events and environmental issues
• To foster our members’ own unique cultures
• To help our members share their cultures with scouts from around the world
• To create friendships between scouts through our peace forums and more
• To promote scouting as a peaceful force capable of changing the world

Members can share pictures, form groups, and publish information about upcoming scouting events. As of October 2010, Scouting4Peace.org has brought together over 4500 members from 182 countries worldwide in the world’s first scouting family.

International Events

Scouting4Peace holds events year round related to peace and the environment. Events are designed to educate youth about current global issues. Past events have included planting trees for the United Nations’ Billion Tree Campaign and celebrating International Peace Day and Earth Hour. In December 2010, Scouting4Peace Foundation also held its first Together for Peace international peace gathering in Egypt, including members from 9 different countries worldwide. Upcoming events are listed on the Scouting4Peace website at www.scouting4peace.org/events.

Classes and Workshops

Workshops and classes on science, the arts, and the outdoors begin soon in Egypt. These courses will build scouting-related skills in Egyptian youth. By teaching youth these skills, we hope to enrich their day-to-day-lives, strengthen their values of hard work and teamwork, and give them talents that will lead to their successful futures. Our current round of workshops will include an aviation workshop, a scientific scouting club, an inventors' workshop, and beginner music classes for children.
