Scouting is the world's leading educational youth Movement empowering 60 million young people and volunteers to be active global citizens and agents of change in their communities.
Scouting is a global movement connected together through 176 National Scout Organizations that deliver quality Scouting programmes, events, and initiatives locally and nationally.
We support the growth and development of Scouting worldwide to enable more young people and volunteers to experience Scouting’s life-changing educational offering.
What We Do
Through our Messengers of Peace, _Earth_Tribe, and other initiatives, we mobilise millions of young people to learn about and take action for peace, equality and sustainable development.
World Scouting convenes some of the world’s largest youth events such as the Jamboree, Moot and JOTA-JOTI bring young people and volunteers together to learn new skills and experience different cultures.
We support our membership of 176 National Scout Organizations provide quality Scouting to more young people through WOSM Services and other capacity-strengthening opportunities designed to fit their needs.
