About Scouts of the World Award

The Scouts of the World Award (SWA) is an initiative to encourage a stronger involvement of young people in the development of society by making them more aware of the present world issues. It concerns global citizenship-preparation for young adults and emphasises three core-themes demanding understanding, skills and knowledge, for life on a small planet: Peace, Environment, and Development.

The Scouts of the World Award Discovery Workshop is here again

Greetings!

The Scouts of the World Award Discovery Workshop is here again! Started in 2006, the Singapore base has since successfully completed five Discovery workshops and three Voluntary Service projects: Project Sirius – Rovering with Rhinos, Project Orion – Rovering with Turtles and the latest Project Sikkim.

The Discovery Workshop aims to expose young people to the global issues that our Earth and Country is facing – to Explore, Respond and Take Action. Besides raising awareness of our rich natural heritage and community, the workshop also seeks to equip the youth with development, facilitation and planning skills in preparation for the next phase - the Voluntary Service project.

Venue: Sarimbun Scout Camp
Participants Eligibility: Ventures, Rovers and non-Scouts (17 to 26 years old) and Leaders (Observers)
