World Scouting

Ready for life. We are World Scouting. Creating transformative learning experiences for young people, everywhere.

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 176 National Scout Organizations. Today, over 60 million young people, supported by millions of dedicated volunteers, take part in Scouting activities and events worldwide.
