Scouting In Schools

The Scouting In Schools Programme is a partnership between SCOUTS South Africa's Western Cape Region, the Western Cape Government, and the Western Cape Government Department of Sport, Arts and Culture's YearBeyond and After School Project offices. The programme enables SCOUTS South Africa to recruit and train unemployed youth and place them into a first employment and personal development program whilst at the same time running Scout programmes for Grade 4-6 learners under resourced in low- and no-fee public schools, with no financial cost to the school or learners. The Scouting in Schools Programme thus creates an employment opportunity with the benefit of equipping learners with life skills, fostering a love for nature, and promoting positive and active citizenship.

Scouting in Schools reaches nearly 5000 young people from nearly 100 schools in the Western Cape, with 345 "YeBoneer" interns running the programme in 2026.
