Young people are becoming increasingly aware of issues involving their planet, partly as a result of increased access to news and information. The Global Zone includes activities that explore issues that are topical and affect everyone.

The Global Zone benefits young people by:

• increasing their awareness of the world and environmental issues
• allowing them to feel a part of a worldwide organisation
• allowing them to work as part of a group to complete worthwhile projects

The Global Challenge links with the Global Zone. Scouts have the opportunity to take part in an international experience and meet Scouts from other lands or research into topics of international concern.

Lands of Adventure is a programme for Scouts aged 11 to 15, developed by the Scout Associations in the European Scout Region. The aim of Lands of Adventure is to reinforce the idea of a common peaceful Europe to members of the Scout Section.

Lands of Adventure is open for scouts from all over the European Scout Region, which includes the United Kingdom as well as all the countries from Ireland to Greece and from Portugal to Finland. UK Participants undertaking Lands of Adventure may also meet people from Turkey and Israel.
