Creating transformative learning experiences for young people, everywhere.
World Organization of the Scout Movement
Scouting is a global youth Movement that builds friendships, experiences, and skills for life, shaping young people's futures as active citizens. More than 500 million young people and adults have joined and experienced the power of Scouting's non-formal education since it was founded in 1907.
Since then, the Scout Movement has continued to grow and is now active in 175 National Scout Organizations. Today, over 57 million young people, supported by millions of dedicated volunteers, take part in Scouting activities and events worldwide.
A Global Educational Youth Movement
Scouting's mission is to contribute to the education of young people through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law. Through Scouting, we are building a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.
Scouting’s vision is to be the world’s leading educational youth Movement, enabling 100 million young people to be active citizens who create positive change in their communities and around the world based on shared values.
