The decisions and actions taken locally can increasingly affect people in other parts of the world. Think about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, they all offer us insights into how our lives have been 'globalised'.We want to encourage young people to increase their understanding of the links between the personal, local and global and promote their active participation in actions to bring about change towards greater equity and justice.
The Links Scheme
Scouting has always promoted international peace, understanding and co-operation through contacts with you young people from other countries and cultures. This International contact helps young people to develop awareness of life outside of their own immediate sphere, and assists them in recognising and respecting the differences that exist between the nations and races of the world.
The International Links Scheme offers a means of communicating with other Scouts abroad and provides an "international experience" without necessarily having to leave town.
