The Messengers of Peace (MoP) Initiative is a call to action, inspiring and sharing the message of peace with more than 20 million Scouts and young people in over a million local communities in over 160 countries to help “Create a Better World”.
With the support of His Majesty King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, the idea was conceived in 2010 and launched in 2011. This initiative is the flagship programme of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, calling its member NSOs to support the programme through Service Projects and Community Service at the grassroots level.
In the WOSM’s Network Report for the month of February 2014, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines ranks 1st in the Asia-Pacific Region in terms of Network Membership and Service Hours, with more than 3,000 members online and more than 500 Million Service Hours, respectively. Overall, we ranked Second at the World Level after Saudi Arabia.
By the end of 2014, our NSO target is to reach at least 10,000 Scouts and Leaders from BSP to take part in this world initiative. This would be possible by increasing our members, service hours and service projects uploaded and shared to the WOSM’s Messengers of Peace platform.
In support to this initiative, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines is enjoining all Local Councils and Regions to help promote “Messengers of Peace” by conductingMoP Workshops and Modules during council and regional Scouting events and observances with the help of the Council and Regional MoP Coordinators duly trained for the purpose.
