The Scouting Association is over 100 years old and is now a world-wide movement involving more than 28 million members in 216 countries. It has had to change with the times, but the association has never lost sight of its aim to provide young people with opportunities for adventure and self-development.

Then

The Scouting Association was founded by Robert Baden Powell, a lieutenant-general in the British Army, who organised the first Scout camp on Brownsea Island off the south coast of England in 1907. A year later, he set out his vision of an outdoors programme for young people in a book called Scouting for Boys then, in 1912, he formed The Scout Association. Scouting remained a boys-only activity until 1972.

Now
