Patron - Nelson Mandela
Former President Nelson Mandela is the Patron of the South
African Scout Association.
"The international Scout movement is a world leader in youth
education, and has particular relevance to the needs of youth in
Africa and the emerging democracies around the globe.
I am pleased with the progress of Scouting in South Africa, and
in the steps which are now being taken to make the programme accessible
to more young people. The importance of a high moral code, which
is at the foundation of the Scout movement, cannot be stressed too
highly."
Nelson R. Mandela
