Centenary of Scouting in Namibia

17 February 2017

A Souvenir Sheet containing one stamp was issued by NamPost to commemorate the Centenary of the Souts Movement in Namibia.

Scouting is a worldwide movement, providing guidance and productive pursuits to the youth. The organisation prioritises outdoor activities, which is ideal in Namibia with its inspiring environment and sunny weather.

Scouting focuses on teaching selfreliance and playing a constructive role as individuals in society. The movement is divided into three branches to accommodate different age groups and their interests – Cubs cater for the youngsters, Scouts for teenagers and Rovers for young adults.
