About the Movement

The purpose of the Movement is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of the local, national and international communities.

Scouting develops self-knowledge and the need to explore, to discover, to want to know. Scouts discover the world beyond the classroom, tapping the skills of others to learn and to become individuals with all-round development.
