The ILO has estimated that some 165 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are involved in child labour. Many of these children work long hours, often in dangerous conditions. This year the World Day against Child Labour will be marked around the world with activities to raise awareness that Education is the right response to child labour. World Scouting, as the largest global youth movement which prides itself on its strong history of non-formal education, is encouraged to get involved and draw attention to the key issues related to Child Labour.

Under the patronage of H.E Mrs. / A'esha Abdel Hadi, Minister of Labour Force & Migration, the Arab Scout Regional Office will organize the 2nd International Seminar on Scouting and Child Labour & Street Children Phenomena for promoting the role of Scouting in improving living conditions of working children and their families and getting aware about the issue of Child Labour at local, national and international levels. In addition, the Seminar aims at analyzing the various forms of child labor and homeless children phenomena and realizing the outcomes of such analysis. This would enable us using the Scout Method for supporting these children and improving their hard conditions.
The e-learning resource on 'Keeping Scouts Safe From Harm' which was developed for Adults and the International Service Team (IST) of the recently concluded World Scout Jamboree in the UK, is now available online for global use. Inspired from the E-learning resources on Child Protection, created by NSOs, the tool, which is available in English and French, has been designed to develop worldwide awareness on the important subject.
In view of the common commitment to defending and promoting the rights of children and young people, the partnership between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and World Scouting has continued to grow. An increasing number of joint initiatives between Scouts Organizations and ILO Field and Branch Offices are being developed at the local level, in particular in the framework of the SCREAM – Supporting Children’s Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media – programme ( www.ilo.org/scream).
