Core offering

Tily eto Madagasikara is a Christian unionist scouting organization that delivers youth scouting education and character formation to boys and young men aged 6 to 25+ through four age-based branches (Sampana Mavo/Lovitao, Sampana Maitso/Kijàna, Sampana Mena/Mpiandalana, and Sampana Menafify). Its programs develop over 50 talent areas (Talenta) spanning outdoor, civic, artistic, and vocational competencies, and operate across all 22 administrative regions of Madagascar under the international Scout framework. Operations are sustained through membership contributions, sponsorships, and partnerships, anchored by the Tranombitsika national Scout Village and training center.

Product overview

Tily eto Madagasikara is a Christian unionist scouting organization for boys operating across five Protestant denominations (FJKM, FLM, EEM, METM, FMTA). The organization is structured as a unified platform with four age-graded branches — Sampana Mavo (Lovitao, ages 6–10), Sampana Maitso (Kijàna, ages 11–14), Sampana Mena (Mpiandalana, ages 17–19), and Sampana Menafify (young adults, ages 19–25+) — each with its own educational curriculum, talent development programs (Talenta), and progression system. Supporting the core branches are cross-cutting programs including the Tranombitsika scout village and training center, the Tanjon'ny Fandrosoana Lovainjafy (SDG/ODD) sustainability curriculum, the Politika Nasionaly Fanabeazana governing framework, and the national headquarters portal. The organization also participates in international scouting through OMMS (World Scout Organization), Jamboree events, and the Messenger of Peace program.
