Eastern Cape South - Scouts

At the beginning of August, three of our scouters had the incredible honor of attending the 2nd Africa Moot in Johannesburg. 🌍 Representing our Region on such a massive continental stage is no small feat, and we couldn't be more proud of them. We are eagerly waiting to hear the stories, lessons, and memories they brought back from this adventure. Read the article above to find out what this life-changing experience meant to our team.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of scouters coming together. 🌈 This past Saturday in Port Alfred, the Meerkat Mischief was all about connection—sharing knowledge den-to-den, crafting up a storm, and learning from one another. We even got competitive with a game of Kahoot, and we’re so proud of our two scouters who placed in the top 3! A huge thank you to our Regional Commissioner for bringing the vibes with his frog beanie, and to all our scouters for rocking their full rainbow gear. Together, we are stronger! ⚜️

World Scout Scarf Day celebrates the unity that binds Scouts across the globe—and right here in the Eastern Cape South Region. Our scarves are symbols of service, friendship, leadership, and the promise to live by the Scout Law.

We mark 1 August because it's the anniversary of BP's very first camp in 1907, the start of a movement now millions strong. Today, as Scouts across South Africa wear their scarves with pride, our region showed up in force—at parkruns across the Eastern Cape South, groups came together in their scarves and purple, united with one purpose: to represent scouting and honour the legacy we carry forward. One scarf, one community, and the Eastern Cape South spirit! ⚜️

World Scout Scarf Day is a moment to celebrate the unity that binds Scouts across the globe and here in the Eastern Cape South Region. The simple fabric of our scarves are symbols of service, friendship, leadership, shared purpose, and the promise we make to live by the Scout Law and help others. We mark 1 August because it is the anniversary of the very first Scout camp held by Lord Baden Powell in 1907, the beginning of a movement that has grown to millions of young people worldwide. Today, every scarf worn with pride reminds us that we are part of that legacy and committed to making the world a better place. From the Eastern Cape to every corner of the world, let’s show our Eastern Cape South spirit and wear our Scarves with pride.

What a day yesterday! Our Regional Commissioner kicked things off by taking our German visitors to Addo Elephant Park for an amazing day out in the bush – the perfect way to experience South Africa's wildlife up close. 🐘 Then last night, NMB South came together at Sunridge Scout Hall for a proper Braai to continue the welcome! There's no better way to share our culture than around a fire with great food and company. Thank you to everyone who pulled through to make it so special! 🔥

67 minutes (and way more!) of service for . 🇿🇦 1st Vincent tackled some hall maintenance! Between their 6 Scouts and 7 Cubs, they managed to paint the equipment and restore the Jungle gym for the church. It’s amazing what a little teamwork can do. Well done, team! ⚜️🔧

Who says service can’t be fun? ⚜️ 1st Vincent swapped their uniforms for paintbrushes today! 6 Scouts and 7 Cubs worked hard to restore the Jungle Jim and playground equipment for Mandela Day. Proud of our youth for making a positive impact! 🙌

💜🧡 Today, for Mandela Day, our Cubs and Scouts rolled up their sleeves and gave back to the community with hearts full of service and smiles all round.

Together they painted, built, created, and worked side by side to make a positive difference. Every brushstroke, every project, and every helping hand reflected the spirit of Mandela Day, that each of us has the power to make the world a little better through service to others.

A big thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm. Small acts, when done together, can have a lasting impact. 🐾⚜️ ⚜️🌍

Well done to 1st Cotswold and 1st Sunridge! 👏🌿 Partnering up for a Baakens Valley clean-up is exactly what Mandela Day is about—caring for our environment and our community. Proud to see EC Souths groups leading by example! 💚
