WHAT IS SCOUTING?
Scouting is an international movement with over 60 million members worldwide, spread through 216 countries and territories. The number of countries recognising the value of Scouting and accepting its principles is increasing and there are only five countries in the world who do not offer Scouting to young people.
In total there are about 500,000 people in membership throughout the United Kingdom. This includes about 100,000 adults who have taken up appointments as voluntary leaders, administrators and supporters.
The Scouts in the UK accepts members of all faiths (including those without a faith) and offers equal opportunities for all young people no matter what their gender, social, religious or ethnic background may be.
THE PURPOSE OF SCOUTING
​
Scouts actively engages and supports young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
In partnership with adults, young people take part in fun indoor and outdoor activities. They learn by doing, by sharing in spiritual reflection and by taking responsibility. They make choices, undertake new and challenging activities, and they live their Scout Promise.
