The Well-Done Badge is presented to youth members who have exemplified the Scout Promise and Law and contributed to the well-being of their unit, school, or community.

Unit Leaders are invited to nominate deserving youth members for the Well-Done Badge for Q1, 2023.

Nomination for the Well-Done Badge is restricted to one nomination per unit. Nomination must be made on the prescribed form (Annex A) and to be submitted at this link: https://forms.gle/tQSkSDu18VVG24Ty9

The Area Commissioner will then endorse and support deserving nominees for the Well-Done Badge. Example of actions that would be suitable for nomination are provided in Annex B for your perusal.

18TH SCOUTS OF THE WORLD AWARD – DISCOVERY WORKSHOP

Reuben Hendriks

Dear Leaders,

18th Scouts Of The World Award – Discovery Workshop

Greetings from the Singapore Scout Association (SSA)!

A flagship initiative under WOSM’s Better World Framework, the Scouts of the World Award (SWA) provides young people with opportunities to face challenges of the future. It aims to empower and engage young people in taking actions of world importance based on the universal values of freedom, tolerance, equality, respect for nature, and shared responsibilities; criteria similarly identified by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. There are two parts to the SWA – the Discovery Workshop and a Voluntary Service project.

The Discovery Workshop exposes young people to global issues that our Earth and Country are facing using an experiential model – to Explore, Respond and Take Action.  Apart from raising awareness on our communities-at-large and rich natural heritage, the workshop seeks to equip youths with development, facilitation, and planning skills in preparation for their Voluntary Service projects.

Participants are required to achieve full attendance for all the modules.

Please refer to Annex A for the details.

Registration is based on a first-come-first-served basis. Unit leaders are required to register your Venture Scouts through Scout Youth Programme Registration portal while self-registration for Rover Scouts can be made through Scout Adult Programme Registration portal.
