Introduction
The Messengers of Peace Award aims to promote world peace through the positive activities of young people. Any Cub Scout who has voluntarily invested more than 10 hours in a community service project is eligible for the award. This can be anything from running a fun day for the disadvantaged in your local community, to coordinating a book donation for a school in need.
Any community project that brings a positive change to an area - its health, environment, social circumstances, safety or addresses conflict – is a Messengers of Peace project. Since 2012, Scouts across the world have been sharing their community service initiatives online on scout.org. To date, more than 620,000,000 service hours have been registered in over 40,000 community service initiatives.
Requirements
Complete a service project which involves at least 10 hours of effort. Your project should include the following:
• Service to a community: the project should address a need in the community
• Sustainable: It should have a lasting impact
• Personal Progression: All of the Cubs should be involved in organising and doing the project.
