This program will help Scouts explore what it means to be a citizen of a global community. We’ll discuss different cultures, international relationships, global organizations, and the ways people and countries work together to address challenges that affect us all.

Scouts will learn about their responsibilities as citizens of the world and explore how communication, cooperation, and understanding different perspectives can help create a more connected and respectful world.
