Eliminating child labour
Scouts in Egypt are working
to eliminate child labour and help
working
children. The Scouts have been working on the issue of child labour
since 2002, when they first started the project in Alexandria, working
directly with the working children and their employers.
By taking care of these often forgotten children and making sure they
play and learn like other kids of their age, Scouts are focusing the
community's attention and setting an example that others will hopefully
follow.

Environment and outreach
Scouts
in Moldova are developing a range of environmental
and outreach projects in their local communities. Kagul district Scouts
have assisted in the reconstruction of a potable water system that
covers a total of 3 kilometres and provides clean water to 136
households.
Moldova Scouts have also initiated tree-planting projects on 152
hectares of land, cleaned 6 springs and 27 wells.
Finally, in an effort to provide fun and educational activities for
more local children, the Scouts have run 7 camps in their communities
for over 400 young people, 250 of which have expressed an interest in
now getting involved in Scouting.
