WHAT IS SCOUTING

WHAT IS SCOUTING?

EDUCATION FOR LIFE
Scouting complements the school and the family, filling needs not met by either. Scouting develops self-knowledge, the need to explore, to discover, to want to know.
Scouts discover the world beyond the classroom, tapping the skills of others to learn, and passing that knowledge on to others.

INTERNATIONAL
There are recognized Scout organizations and branches in more than 216 countries and territories.

GROWING
Scouting has never stopped growing since its founding in 1907. Today there are more than 25 million members – boys and girls. Scouting has doubled its membership in the last 20 years. Much of the growth is in developing countries.

OPEN TO ALL
Scouting is open to all, regardless of race or creed, in accordance with the purpose, principles and method conceived by its founder Robert Baden-Powell.

A MOVEMENT FOR YOUTH
Scouting is a Movement… on the move. Evolving and adapting everywhere according to local conditions, serving according to local needs.

NON–POLITICAL,NON–GOVERNMENTAL
Scouting does not and must not represent any political party or organization. Nonetheless, Scouts are encouraged to make a constructive contribution to their community, society and country.

ALSO A CHALLENGE FORADULTS
A chance to help young people. A way to improve the understanding between generations. In their service, adult leaders get valuable training and experience, adding to their personal development.

VOLUNTARY
Scouts and leaders must choose to join Scouting.

FUN, WITH A PURPOSE
Through recreation, Scouting achieves its purpose to help young people develop physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually
