The secretariat serves the interests of the member SCOPE Country Chapter organisations who are autonomous organisations sharing a common vision and are guided by the same set of principles. Our core principles which we use to evaluate our performance are:
 
• Promoting deep and thoughtful care for the environment and everything in it, based on a wholesome view that understands the interconnections between all things.

• Promoting a needs based integrated land design practice that creatively weaves together the building of resilience within the ecosystem while moving communities towards food sovereignty, nutrition and income security.

• Emphasize the identification and creative use of local and indigenous resources and knowledge while rooted in our culture and celebrating intergenerational learning.
 
• Genuine and wide participation of young people at all levels of our activities.

• Make learning fun, practical and relevant for everyone, while having an integrated approach across the curricular and promoting the inclusive and active participation of whole communities.
 
• Ensuring systematic and regular reflection and learning from experience, and planning ahead strategically at all levels, in partnership with our stakeholders.
 
• Ensuring user friendly, regular and systematic documentation and transparent information sharing.

• Always start small, ensure quality and grow organically.
