action that emphasizes compassion, empathy, creativity, joyful
collaboration and service to others.  Children are asked to discuss what peace means to them and further explore what fuels their concern for others and their spirit of generosity.

Learning from and discussing the actions of local and international peacemakers is a primary construct of Peace Scouts. There are eight powers representing by a different peacemaker and attribute that fuels peace.  For example:

The Power of Kindness stresses the strength of listening with an open mind and acting with an open heart.  The Dalai Lama is the peacemaker on this peace patch.

The Power of Wonder emphasizes our ability to connect with the natural world and our physical environment is individual displayed on this peace patch.

An Olympia artist, named Nikki McClure, created a papercut of all the peacemakers.
