Messengers of Peace has two elements: The Messengers of Peace Global
Network and the Messengers of Peace Support Fund.
The Messengers of Peace Global Network is the tool for connecting
Scouts. Using social media, the Network allows Scouts to showcase their
service projects and meet online to share their ideas, tell their
stories and work together to build peace in their
communities. Through greater access to ideas, training and
support, these connections will strengthen all of Scouting.
The Network is inspired by the World Scout Committee (WSC) and is
administered by the World Scout Bureau (WSB). It is driven by
youth volunteers worldwide and is available to all Scouts who are
running peace projects.
The
Messengers of Peace Support Fund will provide financial support to
service projects and Scouting initiatives around the world.
The Fund enables Scouts in poorer countries to implement the types of
vital projects that can change communities. It also supports
project management capacity building for NSOs and Regional
Offices.
The Fund targets five categories of work: (1) training in dialogue; (2)
support for specific peace projects; (3) support to young people living
in “hot” conflict situations; (4) capacity
strengthening; and (5) globalizing the Messengers of Peace Global
Network.
The Fund is supported by the World Scout Foundation and administered by
the World Scout Bureau and its Regional Offices.
