Scouts of the World Award (SOWA) is a Scout Network only award that gives Scout Network members the chance to undertake a project of their choice within the themes of Peace, Environment and Sustainability and take action on their chosen issue.
Through your Scouts of the World Award journey, you’ll develop skills and knowledge that will empower you to undertake a project that will make a sustainable impact on your local, national or international community, while developing your own skills.
You’ll learn skills including: independence, team work, project management, budgeting and communication skills, while gaining an understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. You can complete the award anywhere in the world, including your home country and this can be completed as a team, with each member playing a project management role and completing 80 hours+ of work towards the project.
To compete the award, you must attend a SOWA Discovery. The Discovery will broaden your understanding of the wider global context that underpins the Award and global issues.
