Scouting is an international youth movement that welcomes members from all social backgrounds, faiths and cultures.

The Scout Method

Scouting uses a Method, which is young people, in partnership with adults:

One Hundred years ago, Robert Baden-Powell started Scouting by organising a camp for 20 boys from differing backgrounds. Through this practical implementation of the aim, Scouting has become a major positive influence, helping people to become active citizens. Today with over twenty eight million members in all but 5 countries, Scouting is a great force for peace and understanding.
