The Scout Movement is a voluntary, non-partisan educational movement for young people. Scouting is open to all, regardless of race or creed, in accordance with the purpose, principles and method conceived by its founder Robert Baden-Powell.

Scouting operates through a network of local groups supported by National Scout Organizations (NSO) in over 224 countries and territories worldwide.
