The purpose of Scouting is to promote the
development of young people in achieving
their full physical, intellectual, social, and
spiritual potentials as individuals, as
responsible citizens and as members of their
local, national and international
communities.
Scouting offers fun, challenge and everyday
adventure to 400,000 girls and boys across the
UK. Offering over 200 different activities from
abseiling and archery to drama, street sports
and water zorbing, Scouting helps 6-25 year olds
grow in confidence, achieve their full
potential and become active members of their
communities. This is only possible through the
efforts of 100,000 volunteers who also enjoy the
fun and friendship of Scouting. Trusted by
nearly a million parents each week, the movement
welcomes members from all backgrounds,
faiths and cultures. Special emphasis is placed
on bringing the Scouting programme to young
people who currently do not benefit, particularly
those in inner cities, those in rural areas and
other disadvantaged groups. The Scout Association
is a registered charity in the UK and part
of a worldwide movement of 28 million Scouts
working for peace and global friendship.
