Africa Scout Day, celebrated annually on 13 March, unites Scouts across the African continent in a shared celebration of service, leadership, and African identity. Every year, the event is hosted by a different Member Organization.

This year, SCOUTS South Africa is hosting the 16th Africa Scout Day, under the theme “Strong Roots. Bright Future.” This theme reflects the strength drawn from our Scouting values, African heritage, and community traditions, while looking forward with hope to a future shaped by empowered, responsible young people.

Join the celebration and run a programme!

Join the Africa Scout Day celebrations by running a programme with your Group or District. We put together a Resource Pack with ideas, activities, and programmes-on-a-plate for you to use to create fun and meaningful Africa Scout Day events.

The Resource Pack is being shared with Groups all around Africa so we can all enjoy the fun together within our own Groups!

We encourage Dens, Packs, and Troops to share their fun activities on social media with the hashtags #scoutssouthafrica and #africascoutday2026.

Event badges for SCOUTS SA members will be available at the National Shop for all who joined in the fun!
