The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is a global youth movement that empowers young people to develop skills for life and become active, responsible citizens through non-formal education. Founded in 1907, Scouting has grown into a worldwide movement active in 176 National Scout Organizations, engaging over 60 million young people, supported by millions of volunteers.
Rooted in values such as equality, inclusivity, mutual respect, sustainability, and optimism, Scouting helps young people become self-fulfilled, inspired, and action-oriented, while fostering lifelong learning, global friendship, and a strong sense of purpose.
