Come learn about the Messenger of Peace awards and participate in a service project of kindness.  Learn to fold butterflies, make milkweed seed packs, and find out a bit about Nebraska's butterflies.  All folded butterflies go to the Children's Hospital's Rainbow House, the April cancer center, and the 'I have a name' shelter.  The milkweed seeds are to help the monarch butterfly.  Participants must actively participate for 2 hours to complete the award. 

What is Messengers of Peace?

Welcome to the Messengers of Peace program in Scouting America. World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) created Messengers of Peace in 2011, to encourage Scouts around the world to step up and do what they can to make the world a little better. The MoP program falls under WOSM’s Better World Framework.

Messengers of Peace aims to promote a culture of peace and dialogue for mutual understanding, promote service initiatives led by Scouts, support the development of young people affected by conflict situations, provide further connection to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and connect Scouts around the world in a global network of 20 million Messengers of Peace.

WOSM has defined Three Dimensions within which we can build a culture of peace and create positive change in our world today: Messengers Of Peace | Boy Scouts of America
