To mark Youth Day on 16 June, the 50th anniversary of the Soweto student uprising in 1976, a delegation of senior Scouts attended a youth event held at the Castle of Good Hope. Representing us as ambassadors for Scouting, the young leaders joined delegates from other youth organisations and were addressed by a guest speaker.

It is with deep sadness that we mark the passing of Stuart Ravenscroft, a dedicated Scout leader, heritage custodian, outdoorsman, and recipient of the Order of the Silver Protea, whose service to Scouting in the Western Cape spanned more than four decades.

Through his quiet dedication, practical leadership, and unwavering belief in the value of Scouting, Stuart left an indelible mark on Scouting in the Western Cape and beyond, through his leading involvement at 1st Edgemead Air Scout Group, the Senior Scout Adventure Cederberg, the Hawequas Scout Adventure Centre - Wellington, Western Cape, and the Scout Heritage Centre in Goodwood.

"Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future and Building a Legacy." – A fitting tribute to a Scouter who did all three.

Read more about Stuart on our website under News or on the Scout wiki.

Scouts do Food For Life! Scouts from 1st Rocklands got together with Yeboneers from the Scouting in Schools programme and rolled uip their sleeves for an incredible gardening course at RLabs.

From understanding the basics of planting, to learning how to grow, nurture and sustain their own green spaces, to discovering the teamwork it takes to build a thriving garden, it was a day packed with hands-on learning, big smiles, and plenty of fresh air.

Scouting thanks RLabs for hosting and sharing these valuable skills with our youth. We’re ready to take these lessons back to our community and keep making a positive, green impact!

A Friday shout-out to the people who somehow manage to be a teacher, coach, encourager, problem-solver, and are experts at friendship knots in the same afternoon.

Our Scouting in Schools Mentors don't just run activities. They help young people discover what they're capable of, often with a healthy dose of patience, creativity, and humour along the way.

Behind every confident YeboScouter and YeboScout is someone who believed in them before they believed in themselves.

Thank you to the mentors who keep showing up, inspiring growth one meeting at a time.
