Throughout the past 100 years of Scouting, young people around the world have been exploring, learning about and caring for the outdoors and our environment. The way in which Scouts contribute to tackling environmental issues have evolved with the times, and remains a fundamental part of the Scout programme.

Scouting has always been a peaceful and pacifying movement. Scouts around all over the world are actively working with the aim of creating a better world.

Peace cannot be secured entirely by commercial interests, military alliances, general disarmement or mutual treaties, unless the spirit for peace is there in the minds and will of the people. And this is a matter of education.

God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every man who really tries to do his best, according to his lights, in His service.

Youth involvement is a process that ensures youth have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. It creates volunteer opportunities for youth to be a part of the changes and decisions being made in their communities.

Youth Involvement in Decision-Making is the first strategic priority in the Strategy for Scouting and it identifies three areas of work for young people to be fully involved in decision-making in the Movement.

These areas are: (1) Youth Involvement in the Unit; (2) Youth Involvement institutionally; and (3) Youth Involvement in civil society
