Global citizenship encompasses an awareness of and responsibility for global issues, and understanding these perceptions among young leaders is crucial for fostering effective global engagement. Through a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the research investigates how these groups perceive their role as global citizens, their awareness of international issues, and their involvement in global initiatives.</p> <p>The survey results reveal that both Rover Scouts and Leadership Scouts hold strong views on global citizenship, but their perspectives differ in key areas. Rover Scouts demonstrate a high level of awareness and commitment to global issues, reflecting their focus on community service and international scouting experiences. In contrast, Leadership Scouts exhibit a more nuanced understanding of global citizenship, influenced by their leadership training and responsibilities.</p> <p>Qualitative data from interviews further illuminate these differences, highlighting variations in how each group integrates global citizenship into their activities and personal values. Rover Scouts emphasize practical engagement and community action, while Leadership Scouts often focus on strategic approaches and long-term impact. Overall, the study underscores the importance of tailored educational and developmental programs that address the unique perspectives and needs of each group. By enhancing understanding and engagement with global citizenship, scouting organizations can better prepare young leaders to address global challenges and contribute meaningfully to international communities. The findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted initiatives to support and enhance global citizenship among scouts.</p> Soni Wang Dorji Dema Copyright (c) 2024 Soni Wang, Dorji Dema https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-22 2024-12-22 1 1 01 04 10.37547/irjll.2024.111
