Youth Forum

A Dynamic and Youthful Experience at the Africa Scout Youth Forum

The Youth Forum promises an exciting and interactive program, carefully crafted to inspire and empower participants. Through a mix of workshops, exhibitions, and plenary sessions, young leaders will gain valuable skills, engage in meaningful decision-making, and elevate their voices in shaping the future of Scouting in Africa.

This vibrant platform will also identify new Youth Advisors, emerging leaders who will take the lead in driving Scouting activities across the continent.
