Slovak Scouting
Project Great Teams supports children and youth throughout Slovakia. The project aims to get young people find the most appropriate and natural way to build a good team based on values and a strong friendship that is reinforces by shared experiences. Another objective of the project is to offer young people a space and funding for meaningful leisure.
Positive natural teams of kids fall apart as the children spend more time in front of computers and television, barely moving, barely go to the countryside, often from split families. Children are more than ever threatened by drug and other addictionsm increasing aggression, bullying. Therefore the project focuses on the great examples of the great teams. We want to give a chance to grow up in a safe environment, learn from peers and set a positive example for other children in Scouting but also beyond.
In thanks to you, the donors of Great Teams, the Slovak Scouting supported 10 great projects in 2014. They focus on the personal development of individuals, technical skills of teenagers and they aim to deepen the relations between party members. Every single project is original and fits well to the particular team of the scouts. Slovak Scouting prepares an annual nationwide contest for the best team 49 teams were involved this years, which represents about 320 scouts. It focuses on the knowledge, skills and most team spirit.
Thanks to you we could have been providing not only financial support of these teams, but to teach young people to plan, carry out their dreams, which are for their future springboard.
Thank you!
