About

Scouting is a worldwide Movement, currently active in 216 countries and territories with a global membership of over 28 million. In Scotland, The Scout Association is responsible for the provision of Scouting; challenge and adventure for young people aged between 6 and 25, including males and females.It is all about fun with a purpose – helping members to fulfil their potential as individuals and active members of society.We believe that young people develop most when they are learning by doing, when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. Everything we do is guided by the balanced programme which is a continuous progression of training, activities, badges and awards for young people from 6 to 25.
