Les Scout Tunisiens

Tunisian Scouting is a fully independent youth NGO, regulated by the Tunisian NGO Code. It signed a large number of partnership agreements with Tunisian government institutions, including the Ministries of Education, Health, Interior, Culture, Religious Affairs and several other agencies. It also engaged in partnership and exchange agreements with foreign Scouting and non-scouting NGOs from France, Denmark, the USA, Algeria, the Emirates and Lebanon. Besides scouting projects, service activities include planting trees, maintenance of schools and healthcare centers, providing recreation for children in orphanages, literacy campaigns and disaster relief. Being the largest youth organization in Tunisia and one of the most dynamic and best-structured youth outdoors organizations in the Arab World, Tunisian Scouts Organization believes it has a major role to play in an ever changing society, politically, socially and economically, in sensitizing youth about their rights and duties as citizens, by promoting notions of team work, consensus, conflict resolution, mutual respect, the right for difference, free and responsible speech, community development, and accountability.
