Friends from other countries

Students find out that scouting exists in more than 170 countries and write a letter to a group in another country.

Steps

1. Show a map of the countries where scouting is active.
2. Talk about what scouts all over the world have in common (the law, the promise, helping others).
3. Write a short letter together describing your class.
4. Send the letter through your national scout association or a school exchange programme.

Tip: The eTwinning platform can help you find a partner school to write to.
