Paint Parkrun Purple 2026 | SCOUTS South Africa

What an incredible sight it was to see Scouts of all ages Paint parkrun Purple across South Africa in celebration of World Scout Scarf Day!

From Meerkats and Cubs to Scouts, Rovers, volunteers and supporters, you proudly wore your scarves, made Scouting visible in your communities and showed the world the spirit of Scouting in action.

We’ve loved receiving your photos from every corner of the country. While we couldn’t fit them all into our highlight video, here’s a gallery showcasing many of the amazing moments that made the day so special. *

Thank you to everyone who took part, shared a smile, and helped make this year’s Paint parkrun Purple a memorable celebration.
