Mission
The Mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value-based system based on the Scout Promise & Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.

Purpose
The Purpose of the Scout Movement is to contribute to the education 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.

Personal Progression
Scouting is about fostering personal growth in the following areas:

We follow a process called Plan>Do>Review> to make sure the program stays up to date and that individuals learn and develop.
The Scout program aims to be adventurous, fun, challenging, and inclusive so that members of all ages can engage with a program that stimulates their development and maintains their interest.
