Reminding all past and current cubs, scouts and scouters, please wear your scarf tomorrow. Pick one and wear it loud and proud.⚜️💜

⚜️ is around the corner! On the 1st of August, Scouts and Scouting volunteers around the world will proudly wear their Scout scarves to honour the values, friendships, skills, and adventures that unite more than 60 million Scouts worldwide. ⚜🌍

🚨⚜💜 Whether you're heading to work, school, university, the shops or meeting friends, wear your Scout scarf proudly and let your community see Scouting in action.

This year, we're also inviting members to Paint parkrun Purple! 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ 💜Join your local parkrun wearing your SCOUTS South Africa purple T-shirt (or any purple gear) and your Scout scarf. It's a fun way to celebrate World Scout Scarf Day, promote healthy living and show that Scouts are active members within our communities!⚜ 🫟🏃🏽‍♂️

👀🗨Remember that every Scout scarf tells a story of skills development, service, leadership, adventure and making the world a better place. You never know who might ask about your scarf. That conversation could inspire someone to begin their own Scouting journey and gain lifechanging skills! 💜⚜🌍

Hi to our Scouting family

On Saturday we are marking ‘World Scout Scarf Day’ on 01 August 2026.
We will be walking the Rietvlei Parkrun as a group. We are also going to walk together with the 1st Bracknnehurst Scout Group and the Southern Wolves Scout Group. So collectively we will be 3 groups walking together. ❤️⚜️💜

All Cubs and Scouts are encouraged to wear either a Purple or red shirt. Red is the colour of 1st Randhart and Purple is the colour of Scouts South Africa. All invested members, Cubs, Scouts and Adults must also wear their scarves on Saturday.

We will meet at the start line at the Parkrun at 07:30 and join forces. We will start the walk at 08:00 and normally are done within an hour or so. We should be done by 09:30.

All Cubs or Scouts who are dropped off to walk without their parent or guardian must have a completed consent form. If a parent walks with their cub or scout, no consent form is required.

Join us for a fun walk on Saturday at Rietvlei. Should be a lovely day out in nature.

Building entrepreneurial skills through Scouting ⚜

In Scouting, girls and boys as young as 11 are introduced to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, not just in theory, but through practical, hands-on experience.

As part of the Scout Advancement programme, young people are also encouraged to complete various Scoutcraft and Scout Interest badges to open up their mindsets and build skills for the future. Through the Entrepreneurship Scoutcraft and Entrepreneur Interest badge, Scouts learn how businesses operate, how income and costs work, and what it takes to move from an idea to a viable product. They explore concepts like profit, loss, and break-even, while also understanding the difference between businesses that generate profit and those that serve the public good.

What makes this programme impactful is its focus on real-world application. To achieve their badges, the Scouts need to develop their own business ideas, calculate costs, set prices, and test demand among their peers. As they progress, they research successful small businesses, build detailed business plans, and consider market needs, competition, and financial sustainability. They are then also encouraged to bring their ideas to life.

Along the way, Scouts develop essential life and work skills: initiative, creativity, teamwork, communication, and ethical decision-making. Scouting is not just about outdoor adventure , it’s about equipping young people with the mindset and skills to create opportunities for themselves and others. 💜⚜
