The 10th Africa Scout Youth Forum opened on a high note in Antananarivo, Madagascar, on 14 September 2025, gathering more than 60 young people from 31 countries across the continent. Guided by the theme “Living Together for Peace”, the forum takes place at a time when many African communities continue to grapple with conflict, insecurity, and forced displacement, challenges that disproportionately affect young people.
The Youth Forum is providing a timely space for reflection, dialogue, and collective action, with delegates showing strong enthusiasm and determination to shape the future of Scouting in Africa. The first day set an energetic pace and the opening session led by the Youth Advisors to the Africa Scout Committee, set the tone for meaningful engagement.
