Scouting is a world-wide, value based Movement. The Aim of The Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

In other words, Scouting aspires to make positive contribution to society by helping young people to develop as active members of the community who:
- are self-reliant,
- are caring,
- are responsible, and
- show commitment.

The Method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult Leadership.

Scouting succeeds when it is:
- attractive to young people,
- fulfilling to adult Members,
- trusted by parents, and
- valued by society.
