International Scouting
|
Scouting has always promoted international peace, understanding and cooperation through encouraging contact between young people from various countries and cultures. These international connections help young people develop a broader awareness of the global community, and assist them in recognising and respecting the differences that exist between the nations and races of the world… all whilst enjoying the common bond of Scouting! All enquiries about International Scouting should be directed to our Branch Commissioner International Scouting: Wendy Freeman Information can also be found on the Scouts Australia International Facebook page. |

Scouts International Student Exchange Program (SISEP)
The Scouts International Student Exchange Program (SISEP) is an educational and cultural exchange experience operated by Scouts Australia. It encourages international goodwill and understanding between Australia and other Scouting countries through the facilitation of an exchange experience for Venturer Scouts.
Further details about SISEP can be found on the Scouts Australia International Site.
International Pen Pals
Scouts Australia International Pen-Pal Program offers a means of communicating with other Scouts abroad and provides an "international experience" without necessarily having to leave town. The traditional concept of writing a letter has now given way to members all over the world from Hong Kong to Peru to UK to Zimbabwe requesting links with Australian Scouts online!
Have a look here for more information about the Pen-Pal Program.
