Our projects
There are as many projects as there are Scout groups, i.e. tens of thousands in the world. These projects are at the heart of the life of the Scout Movement and encompass its capacity of social innovation: for each situation, for each problem, for each need expressed by young people and their community, Scouting proposes different social solutions, all based on the same promise, that is to build a better world.
