KINSHASA – Within the framework of the Messengers of Peace project, the Fédération des Scouts de la République démocratique du Congo (FESCO) launched a new youth program on 6 April 2012. Through this program, the Scout method is used to support street children from a centre known as "Molende na ngai" which means "my perseverance." Today, this centre counts 46 Cubs and 22 Scouts. Their enthusiasm is so compelling that FESCO is now receiving many requests for membership from less affluent areas of Kinshasa.

As we celebrate another milestone in the annals of Africa Scouting, I bring you greetings from the Africa Scout Committee. We are proud and very grateful to our past leaders whose hard work, dedication and commitment to Scouting made their efforts noticeable to the AU (then OAU) as far back in 1995 almost two decades ago.

From July 28th to August 5th, 2012. Under the theme “Scouting for a positive change”, the 6th Africa Scout Jamboree will be held in Burundi, in Bungere, at the National Training Centre of the Association of the Scouts of Burundi. As preparations go underway, some Scouts have received conflicting and erroneous information about the so-called “African Jamboree 2012” supposedly to be held in Ghana. Please ignore the latter.

The Panafrican Youth Forum on AIDS was held in Dakar, Senegal, 22-26 March 2004.

Growth of Scouting, to reach as many young people as possible in Africa (More than 60% of Africa's population) will depend on how well we sustain our good image in order to retain and attract more young people.
