Today, KSA Kenya Scouts boasts of a membership of over 400,000 Scouts, both boys and Girls, and 30,000 Scout Leaders. It has also spread its wings to all corners of the Association (KSA) country. This tremendous growth has been as a result of great effort by many men and women of goodwill who gave their time and resources to improve the welfare of youth in Kenya and around the world.

  • Plan for the 2017 World Scout Moot in Iceland January 2015
    Plan for the 2017 World Scout Moot in Iceland January 2015 I would guess the first question for many is: what is a World Scout Moot? It is an official event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), hosted and organized by the Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Association (for the 2017 event in this case), for young people aged between 18 and 25 inclusive. And you thought the best you could do was be on staff at a World or National Jamboree. Now you know there is more fun to be had. It is just a matter of planning. Oh yes, the word "moot" is Old English and originally meant a meeting or assembly. The 15th World Scout Moot will be held in Iceland 25th July to 2nd August 2017 so if you are born on or between the dates of 2nd August 1991 and 25th July 1999 you are eligible as a participant and BSA plans to send as many young adults as are interested in attending. The BSA contingent will likely also have some time before or after the event to see some parts of Iceland. Some of you may be thinking that you have to be working during that time and you may be right. But I can assure you the that the experience will be worth more than money can buy over your lifetime so give it some real thought and then start planning to attend. The cost to attend the Moot is $1,000 plus transportation and some supply costs which are not available at this time.

  • Dear Heads of Contingent, Colm Kavanagh Director World Scout
    Dear Heads of Contingent, Ireland is one of the best small countries of the world; its contribution to humanity, innovation, culture, peace and technology is huge. Around the world it is estimated that over 70 million people claim connections to Ireland through their family history. So, it is from this firm base that we reach out from Ireland and invite you to take part in the World Scout Moot 2021. Our theme for the 16th World Scout Moot is ‘Le Chéile’; an Irish word meaning ‘together’, with wider connotations to friendship, family and collective action. The World Scout Moot seeks to bring together, and connect in friendship, the Rover Scouts of the world during the Moot in July 2021. We are planning an event for 6000 people – 5000 participants and 1000 IST, and we hope to build on the success of previous World Scout Moots. A World Scout Moot does not just happen because you announce a venue and an event date; it requires careful planning to ensure a great and successful event. The Moot planning team is actively at work building the detail of everything from programme to volunteer support. Transport, food and logistics need to be worked out in detail so that buses and trains arrive on time and the food for your evening meal is ready on site for you to prepare. Programme trails are being created and tested, basecamp programme is also in development, as are special experiences and ceremonies. So, loads of work to be done! If you are interested in getting involved in the planning stages of the Moot we would love to hear from you – see our website.

  • Participating in a World Scout Jamboree Or World Scout Moot
    Participating in a World Scout Jamboree or World Scout Moot World Scout Jamborees and Moots are the centerpiece of International Scouting. Scouts who participate in WSJs and WSMs often reflect that the event was the ultimate Scouting experience, and transformative in how they view sother cultures. I’ve met many Scouts and Scouters who have attended WSJs. Everyone has a story about how the Jamboree experience resulted in life-long memories, insights, and friendships that changed their life. Many of us who volunteer in international scouting do so because we want others to experience the magic that happens at World Scout Jamborees and Moots. Adult unit leaders play a critical role in these events by: - Recruiting Scouts who would benefit from World Scout events and encouraging them to register for the events. - Assisting Scouts with fundraising activities, including unit fundraising, grant and scholarship writing, and finding work opportunities that might help with their funding. - Promoting these events 2+ years in advance so Scouts and their families can plan (and save) accordingly. - Considering volunteering as a Jamboree unit leader. World Scout Jamboree The World Scout Jamboree is a 10 – 12 day camping experience that is held every four years. The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be held August 1-12, 2023 in SaeManGeum, South Korea. The 24th World Scout Jamboree was held in the summer of 2019 at the Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve in West Virginia, USA. The 25th World Scout Jamboree host, the Korea Scout Association, expects more than 50,000 Scouts and adult volunteers from more than 170 countries to attend the next Jamboree.

  • 16Th World Scout Moot Update Summary
    16th World Scout Moot Update Summary The Moot Team had the pleasure of meeting Rover Scouts & Scouters from across Ireland at Moot HQ just over a week ago. This gave everyone the opportunity to learn a bit more about the Moot journey so far, what’s next and ways to get involved in the planning & executing of the Moot. If you weren’t able to join us, don’t worry - we have plans to meet more of you over the coming months. The following summary will briefly highlight the work of the different departments of the Moot Team and also provides a link where you can apply to join the team! What is a World Scout Moot? A World Scout Moot is a gathering of young people aged 18 - 25 years old from across the world to camp, live and learn together, supported by International Service Team (IST) aged 26 years+.

Moot Theme The theme of the 16th World Scout Moot is Le Chéile. This is a phrase as Gaeilge that loosely translates to Together. To quote our late Chief Scout, who was instrumental in giving Scouting Ireland the opportunity to host the World Scout Moot, “We are too great an organisation to deliver small dreams to our young people.” Le Chéile we can make the dreams of young people across the world come true.

  • Planning a World Scout Night
    Planning a World Scout Night Introduction This is a great time for Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Sea Scouts to learn more about Scouting around the world. This section gives unit leaders ideas on how to explore International Scouting in a 60 to 90 minute meeting that can be done in an evening, or during a summer camp experience. Learning Goals 1. To gain appreciation that each member of the BSA is also a member of the World Scouting Family, which shares common values (Law, Oath, basic structure) while delivering programs with some variety (some have advancement, others not, etc.) 2. To learn about other cultures, languages, and Scouting traditions from other countries 3. To provide program ideas that align with WOSM’s goals and programs, such as the Messenger of Peace program and the focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Overview Hosting a “World Scout Night” is a great way to add a new dimension to your program. The suggestions in this guide are intended to spark ideas for a fun, engaging and educational 60 to 90 minute meeting or summer camp activity. There are more ideas here than any unit could accomplish in 90 minutes, so choose what activities best fit your group. Most of these ideas will work with all age groups, from Cubs to Venturers. Consider how you might adapt these ideas to your unit meeting. Preparation Read through these program notes. For some activities, you or your Scouts may need to do some research and prep work prior to the meeting. We also encourage your unit to take a collection for the World Friendship Fund (https://www.scouting.org/international/information-sheets/22-329/), which is a BSA program to fund international Scouting projects.
