Awards and spent a few days and some late nights meeting rap, R&B and kuduro superstars from across Africa: names like Banky W, Fally Ipupa, Daddy Owen, Cabo Snoop and Radio & Weasel, from Angola to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and beyond, all huge stars in their own countries, selling truckloads of records despite rampant piracy and a rickety music industry.

Scouting fundamentals.

Purpose of Scouting  

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

Values of Scouting

As Scouts we are guided by these values:

Integrity: We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal.

Respect: We have self-respect and respect for others.

Care: We support others and take care of the world in which we live.

Belief: We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.

Cooperation: We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

Scouting Method

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: 

- enjoy what they are doing and have fun;

- take part in activities indoors and outdoors;

- learn by doing;

- share in spiritual reflection;

- take responsibility and make choices;

- undertake new and challenging activities;

- make and live by their Promise.
