Looking after our health and mental well-being is an essential part of enjoying a long and rewarding life. As a Youth Movement we strive to equip children and young people with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand and take care of their physical AND mental health and support people around them.

The past years have been hard on everyone, and our current society doesn’t always encourage hope. Looking after our physical and mental well-being will help us manage our emotions, manage stress, and enjoy a more active and fulfilling life. Health and well-being are fundamental aspects of a Scouting member’s development, and they play a crucial role in the overall Scouting experience, contributing to the overall development of our Meerkats, Cubs, Scouts, Rovers and Adult volunteers.

SCOUTS South Africa’s National Challenge 2024 simultaneously aligns to the Scouts for SDGs Campaign (Sustainable Development Goals), as it addresses SDG 3, the Good Health and Well-Being.
