The Cubs and Scouts program offers at-risk children and teenagers a much needed after-school development program providing life skills that improve their ability to become successful adults in a difficult environment.

This powerful program brings a huge sense of self-confidence and pride as they learn many useful skills and are recognized by their peers and leaders. This is another project focused on providing capability for brighter futures.

Scouts South Africa is the largest youth organisation in the country and is open to all children, teens and youth from age 5 to 30 who want to embrace their adventurous spirit, enjoy challenging activities and make a positive impact on their communities.

Positive peer pressure and outdoor activities all contribute to individuals growing up with the belief that they can and are changing the world in order to leave it a better place than how they found it.

Seeds of Light has proudly partnered with Keep the Dream 196 to bring Scouting to Acornhoek. Started in 2015 at the Ekurhuleni Drop-in Center, we now have two groups and 180 scouts. The 1st Tintswalo group meets in Tintswalo Village. The 1st Rooibak group meets at Trygive and Suzan’s Community Garden.

Scouting changes lives and  helps children and young adults to reach their full potential.

Leadership abilities, teamwork,  self-motivation, commitment, perseverance, environmental and cultural awareness are just a few of the life skills acquired while having fun and ‘learning by doing’.
