My mission statement for Youth Advisor Position.

 

Mission Statement – Africa Scout Youth Advisor

As a dedicated and experienced member of the Scout Movement, I seek to serve as Africa Scout Youth Advisor with a clear mission: to elevate youth voices, strengthen youth participation, and contribute meaningfully to the continued growth and transformation of Scouting in Africa.

My vision is rooted in unity, innovation, and action. I firmly believe that young people are not just beneficiaries of development—they are leaders, problem-solvers, and drivers of sustainable change.

As Youth Advisor, I am committed to the following priorities:

1. Youth Empowerment & Leadership

Promote leadership training, mentorship, and platforms where young Scouts can take active roles in shaping policies, programs, and decisions that impact them.

2. Scouts for SDGs & Impact-Driven Programs

Advocate for and support youth-led initiatives that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in climate action, peacebuilding, and community service.

3. Regional Collaboration & Unity

- Strengthen networks across National Scout Organizations in Africa to share best practices, foster solidarity, and ensure balanced representation from diverse backgrounds.

4. Inclusion & Accessibility

Promote inclusive Scouting that welcomes young people of all abilities, genders, and communities, ensuring no Scout is left behind.

5. Visibility & Communication

Improve how youth voices are documented, amplified, and communicated through storytelling, digital media, and advocacy within and beyond Scouting.

6. Safe & Supportive Environments

Prioritize youth protection by promoting the “Safe from Harm” framework and ensuring Scouts operate in respectful, inclusive, and secure environments.

Conclusion:
Through this mission, I seek not just to represent youth—but to empower them to represent themselves. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected, and impactful Scouting movement in Africa.
