Their story
Future Scouts were established in Sidon to address the need for fostering responsible citizens dedicated to building a better society and strengthening national unity among all Lebanese. Its primary aim was to prepare youth to serve and contribute to community development. It was founded by individuals, including political figures, who recognized the importance of empowering youth through the scouting mission.
Constituency
The initiative works with youth aged between 18 and 24 of diverse nationalities.
They meet young people in a public outdoor space (e.g., street, park), and in a public indoor location (e.g., café, municipality).
Current management
The activities are organised by Lebanese youth aged between 18 and 25 years old, as well as individuals over 25 years old. They coordinate the initiatives conducted by the organisation.
Use of digital tools
They publish their information, planned trips, and activities on their electronic platforms to reach everyone and engage the specific age group they aim to interact with
