Today, at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC), Switzerland, we celebrated World Scout Scarf Day alongside more than 2,000 Scouts and guests, supported by over 130 staff members from around the world.

One message from our Director deeply inspired me:

The purpose of travelling is not simply to visit another country, take pictures, or say you have been abroad. The true purpose is to learn, build relationships, create opportunities, and take those opportunities back home to benefit others.

These words are a challenge to every Scout leader.

I would like to sincerely appreciate The Scout Association of Nigeria (TSAN), the Africa Scout Region, and the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC) for giving me this opportunity to serve, learn, and proudly represent Nigeria on the international stage.

To my fellow Scouts and leaders, let us continue to prepare ourselves for the opportunities ahead. Let us build our capacity and remember that every opportunity we receive should become an opportunity for others.

Let us not travel just to see the world let us travel to create opportunities, make an impact, and bring that impact back home.

Happy World Scout Scarf Day!

Celebrated globally every year on August 1st, World Scout Scarf Day invites active and former Scouts around the world to wear their iconic neckerchiefs in public. The date marks the anniversary of the very first Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907, led by Robert Baden-Powell, which laid the foundation for the global Scouting movement. Designed originally as a versatile tool for first aid, sun protection, and signaling, the scarf has grown into an enduring emblem of pride, community service, and shared values.

Here , Scouters in Nigeria put these together to better showcase the brotherhood in scouting and to show that scouters all over the world are always ready to help.  

On behalf of the Chief Commissioner, Dr Zack Ekanola and the entire leadership of TSAN, We wish all a fabulous celebration of the world scarf day. 

Remember to wear your neckerchief everywhere you go today!

Happy World Scarf Day!

The Scout Association of Nigeria (TSAN) successfully concluded its intensive two-day ‘Food for Life’ Capacity Building Workshop, equipping leaders and participants with actionable strategies to drive agricultural production and food security across the nation.

Building on the technical groundwork established during Day 1, the final day focused extensively on exploring viable production options within agricultural development—specifically x-raying the potential of both Crop Farming and Livestock Farming.

A central outcome of the final session was a unanimous agreement among participants on the immense viability of integrating both crop and animal farming into TSAN’s regional agricultural initiatives.

Highlighting Nigeria’s diverse climate, topography, and seasonal variations, attendees emphasized that every zone in the country offers distinct ecological advantages:

 Participants observed that Nigeria’s rich geographic diversity can comfortably accommodate varying types of agricultural ventures depending on regional peculiarities.

Combining crop production with livestock farming was identified as the most sustainable strategy to maximize yield, enhance community nutrition, and foster economic self-reliance across state councils.

The facilitator, Emilazer Michael, praised the active engagement, critical analysis, and determination demonstrated by the participants throughout the two days. Reaffirming his commitment to the growth of the initiative, Michael assured TSAN of his ongoing availability to offer technical guidance and support whenever required by the National Scout Organization (NSO).

The workshop concluded on an inspiring note, leaving attendees eager to transition theoretical knowledge into physical field projects:

"I am grateful for this rare opportunity. My eyes have been opened to a lot that will surely impact my NSO. Henceforth, I will plant seeds—I will not bury seeds."

— Blessing Ihotu Ogwuche

"My expectation was 70% met with the workshop; the remaining 30% will be met out in the field."

— Dr. Garren Omonigho

With the successful completion of the ‘Food for Life’ Capacity Building Workshop, TSAN takes a significant step forward in aligning youth development with national food security goals, empowering members to initiate sustainable farming projects across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
