THE SCOUT YOUTH FORUM
An overview
The Scout Youth Forum, a primordial part of
the Youth Development Program of the Boy
Scouts of the Philippines is organized to fill in
the need and the clamor for youth participation
in the decision-making process in the Scout
Movement, especially in matters and issues
directly affecting them, and serves as a
laboratory for the development of leadership
from among our young Scouts.
The Scout Youth Forum is also an
educational tool to support the process of
developing youth participation. It is an event
that empowers and inspires young people
through a participatory approach, helping them
to develop skills in decision-making which can
be used within Scouting and in society.
