What is Scouting Trying to Achieve
Scouting is an international youth movement that welcomes members from all social backgrounds, faiths and cultures.
The Scout Aim
Our aim is to encourage the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society.
The method of achieving this aim is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law, guided by adult leadership.
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 six million members in all but 5 countries, Scouting is a great force for peace and understanding.
