Scientology Network’s VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring activist Chief Marcos Santos Jr., premiering on August 20, 2025.
VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
Across Brazil, thousands of youths, some barely 10 years old, are lured into gangs, trading childhood for a life of crime, drug trafficking and violence. Chief Marcos Santos Jr. is leading a movement grounded in discipline, honor and the power of character. His mission is to help at-risk youth avoid falling into violence and despair by offering something greater—community, purpose and moral guidance.
Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Brazil, Chief Marcos experienced firsthand how the values instilled through the Boy Scouts helped him rise above his circumstances and resist the pull of gang life. As a Scout leader, he discovered The Way to Happiness, a nonreligious moral code based on common sense, which aligned perfectly with Scouting values. Determined to integrate the two, he has helped thousands build the future they deserve. Through outreach programs, events and partnerships, Chief Marcos is expanding his impact beyond local troops—reaching communities across Brazil and around the world while championing values-based youth development.
Chief Marcos is the founder of ORUS, the Universal Organization of Independent and Traditional Scouts.
