Who We Are
The Israeli Scouts is a Zionist youth movement whose goal is to establish and develop educational-ethical frameworks including work of children and youth in a variety of experiential social activities which constitute for them a source of personal development, entertainment and enjoyment in the Hebrew language. The educational activity focuses on the values of friendship and tolerance, about “giving” and social involvement with an emphasis on personal initiative, leadership, excellence and love of Israel. 2nd to 12th grade kids are welcome to join us.
