Africa Scout

The Africa Scout Region is the divisional office of the World Scout Bureau of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with satellite offices in Cape Town, South Africa, and Dakar, Senegal. The Africa Region services Scouting in Sub-Saharan Africa and neighboring islands that are recognized members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). Currently, the region has 37 member National Scout Associations/Organizations and 9 potential members. There are about one million registered Scouts in Africa, though it is suspected that there are about twice that number in the region.

Following fully open processes carried out in total collaboration and full agreement with the Africa Regional Scout Committee, Mr Luc Panissod Secretary General of the World Scout Bureau is pleased to inform you that he has appointed: Mr. Frederic Tutu Kama-Kama, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as new Regional Director of the World Scout Bureau, Africa Regional Office.

Frederic is 44 years old, married and father of three. He is fully French-English bilingual and fluent in Kiswahili. He has a strong university background, holding a BA and MA in philosophy, a diploma in theological studies as well as a certificate in project management. He is currently completing a Ph.D. focusing on conflict transformation with the California Institute of Integral Studies.

We congratulate Mr Kama-Kama on his recent appointment and look forward to working with him in the future.
