The Regional Team has taken the decision to combine the traditional February Ubuntu Camp with the Africa Scout Day celebrations being hosted by SCOUTS South Africa in March.  This is to ensure support for this important event being hosted in our region.

What is Africa Scout Day?

Africa Scout Day, is celebrated annually on March 13, as an opportunity for Scouts, leaders, and supporters across the continent to come together in unity, to celebrate the achievements of Scouting, and to reflect on the challenges and aspirations for the future.  Under the theme “Strong Roots. Bright Future.” Africa Scout Day 2026 celebrates growth, continuity, and the power of a solid foundation.  Just as a tree can only rise tall when its roots run deep, so too can Scouts succeed when grounded in values, heritage and teamwork.

Dates and Venue

The Africa Scout Day main event will take place from Friday 13^th to Sunday 15^th March 2026 at Arrowe Park Scout Camp (Ebenezer St, Lakefield, Benoni).  Patrols can arrive from 15h00 on Friday and must be in camp by 17h30.  The official closing of the camp takes place at 14h30 on Sunday.
