Why partner with World Scouting?

Partnering with World Scouting means supporting young people and the communities they are part of. With more than 60 million members in 176 countries, Scouting gives partners the opportunity to reach young people around the world and support meaningful action in local communities. Together, we can develop programmes, test new ideas with young people, support action on global challenges, and help young people build skills for life. Partners also benefit from World Scouting’s trusted global network and strong systems for reporting and accountability.

How to partner with World Scouting

Partnerships can be shaped around shared goals and the kind of impact you want to make. Opportunities include:

Supporting programmes and projects in areas such as sustainability, peace, health and well-being, and life skills.
Creating campaigns and educational activities together, combining your organisation’s knowledge with Scouting’s experience and global reach.
Providing technical or in-kind support, such as expertise, tools, services, training, or other resources.
Partnering on World Scout Events, with opportunities to connect with young people from around the world.
Building long-term partnerships around shared priorities.

Our approach to partnerships

World Scouting works with organisations that share our values and commitment to creating a better world for young people. We look for partners with strong ethical standards, a positive reputation, respect for human rights and the rights of children, and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. World Scouting does not partner with organisations whose activities or practices conflict with our values, the law, internationally recognised human rights standards, or the safety and well-being of young people.

"Scouting has a crucial role to play in the development and structure of a nation. I strongly believe that empowering youth through volunteer programmes has a ripple effect on families, communities, and countries, and can achieve long-lasting benefits and inspire others to participate in their societies."
