The International Friendship
Award is about developing friendships, but not just international
ones! Its aim is to bring a Group together to encourage friendship
and links, both internally and internationally. By working together
on this Award, everyone will grow in understanding and respect
for each other. They will also make new friends and find out
about people living in other countries.
The International Friendship Award opens up new horizons
in the Programme for all Sections, and can be worked towards
at the same time as the Global Challenge.
The aims of the International Friendship Award are to:
- promote international activities for each Section and projects
for Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network
- promote activities between the Sections
- support the international focus in the Programme
- ensure there is a positive influence on everyone taking part
- have a long-term benefit for people living in another country
Examples of projects might include:
- supporting the development of Scouting in Russia
- supporting Street Scouts in Kenya.
With this Award there is an opportunity to be involved with
organisations and agencies. Also, there is the chance to promote
international awareness and activities across all Sections.
