Scouting Quick Guide

The purpose of Scouting: 'Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society'.

The Scout Movement is a 'values-based' educational movement.

Robert Baden-Powell’s first experimental Scout Camp took place at Brownsea Island, Poole Harbour in August 1907.

By 1910, there were over 100,000 members.

The Scout Movement now has over 400,000 youth members and 79,000 adult members.

Wolf Cubs, later renamed Cub Scouts were established in 1916 with inspiration coming from the Jungle Book.

Notable former Scouts include
David Beckham, Paul McCartney,
Bear Grylls, Richard Branson,
Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg, 
John F Kennedy and Barack Obama.

Today, the estimated number of Scouts throughout the World is 28 Million (World Scout Bureau).
