Escoteiros do Brasil

União dos Escoteiros do Brasil (Brazil’s

National Scout Organization) works to

contribute for young people to take over

their own development, especially character,

helping them to accomplish their physical,

intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual

potentialities, as responsible citizens,

active and useful in their communities. This

is the purpose of União dos Escoteiros do

Brasil, founded on November 4th 1924, as

an association with national performance,

non-profit, who promotes young people’s

education, from 6 ½ to 21 years old, helping

them realize themselves as individuals,

performing a constructive role in society.

To contribute to young people’s education,

through a system of values based on the

Scout Promise and Law, to help creating a

better world where people realize themselves

as individuals and perform a constructive

role in society.

By 2023, Scouting in Brazil will be the

most relevant movement of young people’s

education, allowing 200 thousand young

people to be active citizens who inspire

positive changes in their communities and in

the world.

The “Project Multiply” aims to contribute with the growth of the Scout Movement in Brazil, from the creation of new models of local Scout Units for expansion of new 320 units throughout the national territory, preferably in currently unreached places by our presence, bringing 10.240 new members for the Scouting.

After studying and developing new models

capable of facilitating operationalization,

debureaucratizing scout practices and

developing specific materials for each

need and national reality, we will set a

new institutional capacity to increase the

capillarity of Scouting in Brazil.

Project Multiply aims to evolve 10.240

children, adolescents and youths as new

members of Scouting:

• 6.144 male

• 4.096 female

• Besides, new 640 volunteers and 37 scout

professionals

Aligned to the challenge proposed by the

World Organization of the Scout Movement

(WOSM), desiring to benefit 100 million

people around the world, União dos

Escoteiros do Brasil established as it goal,

by 2021, to reach the total of 200 thousand

beneficiaries throgh the Scout Method.

This is the challenge to expand the impact

of this educational tool that benefits the

largest number of young people in the

world. The “Project Multiply” will guarantee

institutional growth, through the opening of

new models of Scout Program in Brazil, using

new formats of local Scout Units.

In a traditionalistic approach, we have

worked with the same format of Scout

Program and type of Units, in a way we did

not keep pace with changes in society,

where meeting new needs, lack of time and

competing technologies for the attention of

children and young people, make difficult

the diffusion of the Scout Movement and

In order to begin the application of the

Project Multiply, we will choose localities

the adhesion of new volunteers interested in

practiceing of Scouting.

After studying and developing a new model

capable of facilitating operationalization,

debureaucratizing scout practices and

developing specific materials for each need

and reality, we broadened our possibilities of

action, which will contribute to increase the

capillarity of Scouting in Brazil. Concerned

about been connected with the aspirations

of society, providing more practical and

appropriate instruments for people with

little time available for Scouting, we have

made significant changes such as:

• Reduced and applicable costs even

for communities in situations of social

vulnerability;

• New set of materials that will be made

available by the scout educator at each

meeting, avoiding the concern of the

volunteers or youths in the acquisition of

pedagogical materials;

• Opening of local Scout Units in a simplified,

quick and adapted way according to the

structure and interest of the institutional

partners;

• Easy admission of the young person in the

practice of Scouting, previously delayed by

the administrative procedures;

• Shared management with large national

and international organizations that

facilitate expansion throughout the national

territory;

this way, we chose to start the project in

places with greater potential for growth and

easy adaptation, preferably in the following

cases:

• Partners in the public and private

educational networks

• Congregations of different religions present

in the country (Catholics, Protestants and

others)

• Sport Clubs and Associations

• Condominiums

The Scout Movement adapts itself to different

realities, localities, contexts and needs. In

The project will begin the opening of units

with the support of Scout professionals and

will involve volunteers in the units’ activities

to ensure their sustainability after the end of

the sponsorship period. To optimize the time

for this initiative, we will work strongly with

institutional partners that represent large

networks of different sectors, both private

and public.

geographical areas nowadays with a reduced

number of Scout Units, therefore, places

with potential of interested public, but that

we cannot meet the present demand on

account of the low number of units and adult

volunteers. We have as main strategy the use

of partners to open new Scout Units using

its structures and receiving their members

as ours, in a win-win reciprocal relationship

with our strategic partners.

Besides the use of existing Scout Units to

facilitate the opening of new units that can

serve more children, adolescents and young

people in the region, mainly at the final

stage of each cycle (that aims to guarantee

the sustainability and continuing with

mobilization and evolvement of volunteers).

Thus the existing Units would be the

multipliers for the growth (and we have

a program to foster that), stimulating the

attendance of populations still unassisted by

the Scout Movement in Brazil, so that we will

have yet an exponential gain in number of

beneficiaries with our internal local partners

(the existing Scout Units).

In order to reflect upon the context in which

the growth of the Scout Movement in Brazil

will take place, we need to analyze several

factors such as: demographic characteristics

of the states, especially, data from children

and adolescents; the characteristics of

the housing units; and the possibilities of

institutional partnerships.

Analyzing vulnerability criteria, we need

to consider that approximately 37 million

Brazilians between the ages of 6 and 17

are properly enrolled in regular public and

private school education, therefore being an

important space to be addressed by the Scout

Method so that we can expand the offer of

complementary education and contribute

to the school counterturn and reduction of

idleness in the formal education.Analyzing the demographic characteristics,

Brazil is still a young country. Around 100

million people are between 0 and 30 years

old. From this portion of the population,

around 50%, nearly 52 million people, are

among the ages of the Scout Movement’s

target audience (between 6 and 21 years

old). Among the more than 60 thousand

young people benefited, more than half of

it is concentrated in the states of São Paulo,

Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Santa

Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. These states

make up the southern and southeastern

regions of Brazil (two of the five Brazilian

geographic regions) and have 25 million

inhabitants in the age group of interest of the

Scout Method, soon, for that reason, we use

these regions to expand the Scout Movement

to other locations. In this way, as the maion

strategy, we have a potential audience of

approximately 50% of the entire young

population that will be the main focus of this

proposal, living in the three other unexpoited

geographic regions: North, Northeast and

Center-West.

The partnership with religions in Brazil,

signals as a great potential very little explored

by the Scout Movement in the country.

According to data from the 2010 Brazilian

Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography

and Statistics (IBGE), approximately 188

million declare their religion, composed

as follows: 64.6% of Brazilians (about 123

million) declare themselves Catholic; 22.2%

(about 42.3 million) declare themselves to be

Protestants (traditional, pentecostal and neo-

pentecostal evangelicals); 2.0% (about 3.8

million) declare themselves to be Spiritists;

2.6% (5 million) declare themselves to be

followers of other religions. Only 8.0% of the

Brazilian population declared themselves

“without religion” (equivalent to 15.3 million

people).

We have already started partnerships

that guarantee the expansion of the

Scout Movement in Brazil and facilitate

the achievement of the goals in opening

local Scout Units, being strategic allies to

support growth in less time and with greater

Poor income distribution strengthens

negative educational indices by providing

poor development conditions for children

and adolescents, reinforcing the need for

additional investment and complementary

strategies for the development of education.

According to a survey conducted by DOM

Strategy Partners in 2015, Social Assistence

has 4,930 certified entities (14.2% of

the total number of social entities in the

country) which offer 4.8 million assistence

vacancies (62.7% of all socioassistencial

vacancies in the country), in the various

levels of complexity of the typification of

social services, ranging from the services of

strengthening ties, to institutional shelters

and day care centers. Data from the Brazilian

Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE)

in 2010 show that of the more than 4,000

social assistance entities that serve the most

vulnerable groups of the population, such as

poor children and the elderly, adolescents in

conflict with the law, people with disabilities,

among others, only 10.5% represent the

total of private foundations and non-profit

associations, and the distribution of these

entities does not follow the distribution

of poverty in Brazil: 76.6% of the social

assistance entities are located in the richest

regions of the country (South and Southeast).

effectiveness, monitoring and analisys of

evolution. As an example, we can mention

the partners who open their spaces for

scout groups to carry out their activities

because they understand that Scouting

complements the education and values

of each young person, contributing to the

integral formation of each participant. Scout

groups linked to Catholic entities: Marists,

Salesians, Lasallians; Protestants: Baptist,

Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Methodist.

Social UnitsIt is also needed to consider the institutional

partnerships with networks that act in the

area of childhood and adolescence in the

country. To give an impulse on the expansion

of the Scout Movement, we will seek

institutional partnerships with organizations

that already work with children, adolescents

and young people. In the socioeconomic

aspect, we evaluate the World Bank

database with the Gini coefficient -

measures inequality in income distribution

and presents the 14 most unequal countries

globally - where Brazil ranks 8th, as well as

occupies the 3rd place in greater inequality

when evaluated only among the countries of

Latin America.

“It is not surprising that, once inequality is incorporated in the evaluation of its indicators of income, health and education, Brazil has a 20-point drop in terms of human development”

(http://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias/2016/03/160308_america_latina_economia_desigualdad_ab).

Consideration should also be given to the

analysis of the housing characteristics that

may contribute to the growth of the Scout

Movement. Currently 68% of the Brazilian

population is composed by the classes C, D

and E. In Brazil, nearly 6 million houses are

composed by vertical and horizontal condos.

The relation between these two factors leads

us to a universe that is over 4 million houses

as a second strategy to the growth of the

Scout Method, focusing on the classes C, D

and E.

Given this scenario, we propose the present

project to realize the growth potential of the

Scout Movement in Brazil, supporting the

education strategies of the country.

According to the Datafolha Institute, more

than 16 million Brazilians are volunteers,

a considerable share of the population

practicing solidarity and engaging with

different lines of social projects. This factor

is an opportunity to explore in the process

of growth of the Scout Movement in Brazil,

considering the need for a significant

number of volunteers that the institution

demands, especially if we take into account

that the Escoteiros do Brasil currently have

more than 22,000 active volunteers and that

our goal is to grow by more than 100%.

Considering the educational and social

context of childhood and adolescence in

Brazil, Escoteiros do Brasil will contribute in

an active way in the process of transformation

of these realities.

For this, the Project Multiply will have two

cycles. For each cycle we propose three

stages. Each stage will last approximately 6

months, giving a total period of 18 months

for each of the two cycles. The three-year

deadline for the completion of the Project is

thus proposed. The stages are organized as

follows:

Stages of the Project Multiply

Institutional Articulation

Development of the Local Scout Units

Autonomy of Local Scout Units

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3

The first stage, Institutional Articulation,

will be developed through strategic relations

of the Scouts of Brazil with Civil Society

Organizations, public and private schools,

companies, class entities and city, state

and federal governments. This institutional

approach will allow the right spaces for the

development of the local scout units to be

prepared and activated to the second stage

of the project. This process of institutional

articulation will be promoted by the National

Executive Board, with the support of the

professional staff at the National Scout

Office and the regional teams of volunteers

and professionals. Priority will be given

to institutions with potential for national

action, preferably in the North, Central-West

and Northeast regions.

Stage 1Institutional Articulation

15


The second stage of the Project will start with

the Development of the Local Scout Units.

After activating the institutions participating

on the Project Multiply, the professional

teams will begin the mobilization work,

together with the partner institutions, of

children, adolescents and young people to

form local scout units. In this approach will

be made the dissemination of the Scout

Method and the future local scout unit to be

inaugurated; Awareness-raising for those

responsible and family members of children,

adolescents and young people assisted and/

or involved by partners; And, formalization

of the opening of a new local scout unit with

the first associates.

After the mobilization of the youth, the

scouting professionals will apply, weekly,

the specific activities of the Project Multiply.

During this stage, the professionals will

record the experience of applying the

educational program, sending periodic

reports to the production team of the Project’s

educational program, so that it is the object

of continuous analysis and improvement of

the elaborated material. The professionals

will record the individual development of

each participant of the initiative. This process

will allow each scout professional to attend,

at the same time, approximately 10 local

scout units, with 32 young people in each

unit, performing activities according to the

periodicity and the workload negotiated with

each partner. Periodic reports and analysis

will be conducted with the initiative partners

to ensure stakeholder satisfaction and

corrective actions can be taken in a timely

manner where necessary.

Stage 2Development of the Local Scout Units

Mobilization of young people

Formation of the Local Scout

Units

Application of the weekly Educational

Program

Mobilization of volunteers

Managementof the LocalScout Unit

In the last stage, called Autonomy of the

Local Scout Units, the Scout Professional

will act in the mobilization of volunteers

from the local communities with those

internally involved in the partner institutions

(parents, professionals, volunteers, etc.) to

become volunteers responsible for the local

scout unit in question. During this stage, the

scouting professional will give guidance and

support to the transfer of management of the

local scout unit to the new leaders.

At the end of each project cycle, trainings

and resource mobilization tools will be

offered to contribute to the sustainability

of the new local scout units, even after the

financial contribution of the sponsor. At the

end of the first cycle, the second cycle will

start immediately.

When thinking on the expansion of the Scout

Movement, projecting its growth by 140%

compared to the total number of people

currently engaged, we have developed a

platform model to meet national diversities

and to accelerate this growing process.

The proposal for a new model of local scout

unit is an update and adaptation of an already

existing model, but practically not previously

applied in the country. The proposed

model is an evolution of the “Autonomous

Scout Section”, presenting changes that

contemplate good practices of other national

scout associations, requests for improvement

in the process of opening new units, as well as

connect with the interests and expectations

of potential partner organizations in the

country.

In addition to adaptations in the bureaucratic

/ formal structure of the units and the

adaptations in the educational program,

an adequate kit of materials was created to

carry out the activities, guaranteeing access

to training material / application of activities,

as well as the availability of equipment,

operational items and guaranteeing the use

of the institutional uniform.
