Scouts Against Malaria
Scouts against Malaria is an activity which supports the World Organisation of Scouting Movements’
(WOSM) global program, Scouts for SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). If you or your
Section/Group is willing to join the global partnership to fight malaria, visit our website HERE
or email us at [email protected].
There is no doubt that climate change is making the fight against malaria more difficult than ever as mosquitos thrive in hotter, wetter weather. Anything we can do to reduce their incidence will be appreciated by those living in these areas.
The August 2025 issue of ‘Scouts Against Malaria’ newsletter is HERE

Water Wells Project
What is Wells for Uganda? It started back in 1992, when a large group of Scouts visited Uganda. This initial journey was part of an immunisation campaign organised by UNICEF (The UN Children’s Fund) to help prevent and stop the spread of disease.
Since 2000 the Hampshire Scouts have been collaborating with the Masindi district of Uganda to bring clean water to the district.
We have created a number of interactive modules related to these topics for use with your Section. You can download them by clicking on the link –

Czech Scouts in the UK
Bramshill District and especially the 6th Hawley have a long history of European Scouting. In 1991 we were the first English Scout District to visit the 66th Prague in Czechoslovakia after the ‘wall’ came down. The 66th Prague came to the UK in 1992. These photos are of a memorial service at Brookwood Military Cemetery on the 14th May 2023 organised by the ‘Memorial Association for Free Czechoslovak Veterans.’
