build the character of young people through inculcating the values of self-discipline, social service and patriotism. Scouting and guiding aim to develop young people, giving them the ability to make moral choices and strengthen their characters through commitment to a set of values. Scouting and Guiding is as diverse now as it has ever been, reflecting the world in all its variety. But there are some things that cannot be changed: Scouting’s values are timeless and universal. They lie at the heart of our Movement and provide us with a vision for the future. It is an educational movement for young people, accessible to all without distinction of gender, origin, race or creed. Its purpose is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. Scouting and Guiding is a deliberate educational scheme, and its aim is the development of character with a view to useful citizenship. The Scouts and Guides are organized into sections according to age. Each section has an ideal Scout Law, Promise and Motto which they endeavor to attain. The programmes are designed in such a way as to develop leadership qualities and community service.
