Scouting is a non-formal educational movement, whose stated aim is to encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development of young people so that they may achieve their full potential and, as responsible citizens, to improve society.
It achieves its aim through a system of progressive self-education, known as the Scout Method.
