World of Scouting (Scouting around world)

There are more than 31 million Scouts, youth and adults, boys, and girls, in 216 countries and territories.

Attending an event organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), either at world or European levels, is an enjoyable and very worthwhile experience.

The UK sends delegates to conferences, seminars, and workshops in Europe and around the world to support the development of Scouting. Wherever possible these opportunities are advertised to all members of the movement.

Mostly, we take part in these events as part of a group: at Kandersteg or one of the hundreds of other Guide and Scout Centres in Europe and elsewhere.

But international Scouting is not all just about visiting abroad, there is so much we can do within our own halls week to week to learn and understand about Scouting all around the world. For some great ideas visit the UK Website: Activities | Scouts
