About Scouting
Scouting is much more than an activity club for young people. Scouting is a worldwide, values based, educational movement.
Scouting believes that the world is a better place when people:
- are trustworthy, self-controlled and selfconfident
- have self-respect and respect for others
- work together to serve other people and to improve society
- show responsibility toward the natural world
- have proper respect for possessions and property
- have an active religious faith
The Scout Association has a clear purpose it is:
"To help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international community."
Scouting is concerned with all young people without regard to origin, nationality, race, creed, physical or mental ability, gender, political or religious belief or sexual status. Scouting is barrier-free.
Scouting is not a youth club, but an educational Movement with a clear purpose.
The Promise and Law, if applied in daily life, can make our world a better place.
