The Africa Scout Committee and the World Scout Bureau have come up with this strategy to propel Africa Scouting towards effectiveness and sustainability. This is building on the gains of the Africa Ten Year Development plan 2001 - 2011 and considering the four priority areas emanating from the 39th World Scout Conference resolution of Youth for Change, 21st Century Leadership, Global Support and Our Strategic Path.
This strategy is also a result of NSO needs assessment carried out during the 2nd Africa Scout Summit and status reports based on extensive field visits by top Scouting Leadership at the Regional level in a number of NSOs.It ultimately aims to address fundamental issues on structures, systems, processes and infrastructure at the NSO and ARO level in the triennium 2012 to 2015. To this end, it has identified five strategic objectives, which will be its central focus in line with the mission of Scouting.
