Ready for life. We are World Scouting. Creating transformative learning experiences for young people, everywhere.
Scouting is a global youth Movement that builds friendships, experiences, and skills for life, shaping young people's futures as active citizens. More than 500 million young people and adults have joined and experienced the power of Scouting's non-formal education since it was founded in 1907.
Since then, the Scout Movement has continued to grow and is now active in 176 National Scout Organizations. Today, over 60 million young people, supported by millions of dedicated volunteers, take part in Scouting activities and events worldwide.

Managing crowds of millions is one of the most complex operational challenges an organisation can face, and this is exactly where the Saudi Arabian Scouts Association provided vital support during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage.
For decades, Scouts have supported the Hajj pilgrims, contributing to an effort that brings together government authorities, volunteers, and communities in the service of millions of pilgrims. For the Scouts themselves, it is an opportunity to put the values of Scouting into practice through meaningful community service on a truly remarkable scale.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Scouts head outdoors for camps, hikes, expeditions, and adventures.🏕️
Today, as we commemorate #WorldEnvironmentDay. It’s worth revisiting a simple standard that underpins every good outdoor experience: Leave No Trace
Travel and camp on durable surfaces. Dispose of waste properly. Leave what you find. Minimise campfire impacts. Respect wildlife. Be considerate of other visitors.
These principles are a mindset that helps ensure the outdoors stays open, healthy, and meaningful for the next generation.
Let’s set the example all year round.

A crew of Finnish Sea Scouts and sailors are preparing to take on one of the world’s most demanding sailing challenges: the Ocean Globe Race 2027–2028.
Meet Sail For Good. Following qualification, they will sail around the world using traditional navigation methods inspired by the golden age of offshore racing.
Their route will include stopovers in South Africa, New Zealand, and Uruguay. But beyond the race itself, their mission carries a strong social purpose.
During each stopover, the crew hopes to provide free sailing experiences for underprivileged and at-risk young people, using time on the water to build confidence and a sense of opportunity.
Adventure with purpose. We're cheering for you! ⚜
