Last updated 7 August 2026

Scouting is a movement of self-education for young people. The young people in the Movement are supported by adults, whose role is to facilitate and provide the necessary conditions for the development of the youth members.

Scouting seeks to be relevant to young people in the various socio-cultural environments in which they grow up, and to continuously adjust to meet the needs of young people in a rapidly changing world.
