The World Organization of the Scout Movement is a worldwide, non-profit and non-partisan organisation of over 57 million members, male and female, operating through a network of local groups supported by 173 National Scout Organizations. For over one hundred years the Scout Movement has contributed to building a better world through the personal commitment of hundreds of millions of women and men living up to their Scout Promise. Scouting’s mission is to contribute to the education of young people through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, and to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society. This is achieved by: - Involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process - Using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person - Assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law. Recognising today’s problems, World Scouting is prepared for future challenges: building on its experience, it looks toward the future with renewed enthusiasm as new generations of girls and boys join in to “play the game” that will make them the future leaders of social change, breaking the barriers, and building peace.
