Scouts of the World Award (SOWA) is an award available to 18-25 year olds that gives members the chance to undertake a project of their choice within the themes of Peace, Environment and Sustainability and take action on their chosen issue.

Through your Scouts of the World Award journey, you will develop skills and knowledge that will empower you to undertake a project that will make a sustainable impact on your local, national or international community, while developing your own skills.

You will learn skills including: independence, team work, project management, budgeting and communication skills, while gaining an understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. You can complete the award anywhere in the world, including the UK and this can be completed as a team, with each member playing a project management role and completing at least 80 hours of work towards the project.
