17th-19th February 2023
Scouts of the World Award (SOWA) is a Scout Network only award that gives Scout Network members the chance to undertake a project of their choice within the themes of Peace, Environment and Sustainability and take action on their chosen issue. Through your Scouts of the World Award journey, you’ll develop skills and knowledge that will empower you to undertake a project that will make a sustainable impact on your local, national or international community, while developing your personal skills. You’ll learn skills including independence, team work, project planning, time management and communication skills, while gaining an understanding for global issues and international relations. You don’t have to go abroad to complete your Scouts of the World Award. Local and national projects are acceptable, as long as all requirements of the award are being met. Kent Scouts is hosting a Discovery weekend in February 2023 in order to broaden the participants understanding of the wider global context that underpins the Award and global issues and
to set them on their journey to achieving this fantastic award! The weekend runs from the evening of Friday 17th of February, until early afternoon on Sunday 19th February at a cost of £40 per participant. This cost covers your indoor accommodation, food and all course materials. To find out
