About the Africa Scout Day
Following the resolution (CM Res 1607 (LXII)) of the Council of Ministers of the then Organization of
African Unity (OAU) – now African Union (AU), meeting in its Sixty-Second Ordinary Session in Addis
Ababa, from 21st to 23rd June 1995, to set aside the 13th March as the Africa Scout Day, Scouts and
Scouters throughout the region have been celebrating this day to take stock of the achievements of
Scouting and building partnerships for more social impact in Africa.
In September 2010, the Africa Scout Committee resolved to give the Africa Scout Day celebration a
regional outlook, by assigning a National Scouting Organization to host the main celebration; whereby
Scouts and Scouters meet, along with their partners, to showcase their achievements and promote the
“spirit of world kinship, cooperation and mutual assistance amongst Scout Organizations within the
Region” (WOSM Constitution, Article XXI.1.A).
