Scouting in Schools Programme

About the Scouting in Schools Programme

The YearBeyond Scouting in Schools Programme is a partnership between YearBeyond and SCOUTS South Africa. The programme targets Grade 4-6 learners in low- and no-fee public schools and equips learners with life skills, fosters a love for nature, and promotes active citizenship.

What do YeBoneers do?

YeBoneers on the YearBeyond Scouting in Schools Programme serve as Scouts Facilitators. During the school day, they provide general support to the school. After the formal school day, they facilitate a Scouts-based After School programme that focuses on environmental awareness and outdoor living. Each term, Scouters can work towards a badge.
