What we do
Skills DevelopmentThe Liberia Scout Association (LSA) plays a key role in equipping young people with practical skills that prepare them for personal growth and future opportunities. Through its structured programs, the LSA promotes hands-on learning in areas such as leadership, communication, entrepreneurship, agriculture, basic first aid, and vocational trades.
Scouts participate in workshops, training camps, and community projects that help them build confidence and develop essential life skills. The association also partners with institutions and local experts to introduce scouts to skills like carpentry, tailoring, ICT, and small-scale farming—empowering them to become self-reliant and productive citizens. By investing in youth through skills development, the Liberia Scout Association continues to shape a generation of capable, responsible, and community-minded leaders. |
Community ServiceThe Liberia Scout Association (LSA) has remained a vital force in promoting community development and volunteerism across the country. Guided by the principles of duty to God, country, and others, the LSA actively engages young people in meaningful service initiatives that address key local challenges.
Scouts regularly participate in clean-up campaigns, environmental protection activities, health awareness drives, and support for vulnerable populations. During public health emergencies, such as the Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, LSA members played crucial roles in disseminating life-saving information, distributing sanitary materials, and supporting frontline efforts. Through partnerships with schools, local government, and NGOs, the Scouts also promote education, peacebuilding, and youth empowerment. Their hands-on approach not only uplifts communities but also builds character, leadership, and civic responsibility among Liberia's youth. |

Through leadership camps, mentorship programs, and training workshops, young Scouts learn key skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and ethical decision-making. These experiences not only build confidence but also prepare them to become responsible and effective leaders in society. By investing in youth leadership, the Liberia Scout Association continues to empower young people to be agents of positive change across Liberia. |
Environment ConservationThe Liberia Scout Association (LSA) is actively engaged in promoting environmental conservation across the country. Recognizing the importance of protecting natural resources for future generations, the LSA empowers Scouts to take the lead in sustainable practices and environmental education.
Through tree planting campaigns, clean-up drives, awareness programs, and partnerships with environmental organizations, Scouts contribute to preserving Liberia’s rich biodiversity. They also educate communities on issues like waste management, climate change, and the importance of reforestation. By integrating environmental stewardship into its programs, the Liberia Scout Association is nurturing a generation of eco-conscious youth committed to building a greener and more sustainable Liberia. |
Outdoor AdventuresOutdoor adventure is a core part of the Liberia Scout Association’s (LSA) mission to promote learning through experience. Through camping, hiking, nature exploration, and survival training, LSA offers young people exciting opportunities to build teamwork, resilience, and a love for the environment.
Scouts across Liberia regularly take part in outdoor activities that not only encourage physical fitness but also teach important life values such as discipline, leadership, and problem-solving. These adventures are often held in natural settings, helping Scouts connect with their environment and understand the importance of conservation. By engaging youth in outdoor experiences, the Liberia Scout Association fosters a spirit of adventure, self-confidence, and a strong sense of responsibility toward nature and community. |
