What is Scouting all about?

 

The pedagogical concept behind the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides has its origins withLord Robert Baden-Powell. Based on the principle of "learning by doing", children and young people of roughly the same age gather in small groups to experience their world together. More than 100 years after the creation of the first scout troops, many of the scouting movement's most typical approaches, such as camping, hiking and teamwork are more relevant and more alive today than ever before.
