Education
Scouting integrates personal growth and active citizenship, empowering young people to work collectively to build a better world. Scouting unlocks their potential through education, fostering proactive global citizens with a shared commitment marked by a sense of direction, belonging, and active engagement. Scouting's Youth Programme equips young people with skills to navigate the challenges of an ever-evolving society with purpose, freedom, and resilience.
Unique learning opportunities
Scouting offers a unique, learner-centred approach focused on self-education and lifelong learning. Emphasising holistic growth across physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and character dimensions, Scouting empowers each youth member to take charge of their development from childhood through adolescence and early adulthood.
Through the Scout Method, a values-based educational system centred on the Scout Promise and Law, young people gain new knowledge and skills through experiences that are safe, enjoyable, and foster cooperation. Learning by doing both in nature and their local communities prepares them to adapt and thrive in diverse environments, evolving to meet the changing needs of youth and society.
Leading non-formal education
As the world's leading non-formal education Movement, Scouting is thoughtfully institutionalised, intentional, and strategically planned by dedicated education providers. Scouting complements formal education through values-based learning. It empowers and nurtures global youth to achieve holistic growth and make meaningful contributions to society that drives positive change in their communities and beyond.
