What We Do

Scouting is the world’s leading educational youth movement. It provides millions of young people with opportunities to participate in programmes, events, activities, and projects that contribute to their growth as active citizens.

WOSM also supports its global membership of National Scout Organizations (NSOs) to deliver better quality Scouting to more young people, and offers a wide range of capacity strengthening opportunities to enhance the growth and development of Scouting worldwide.

Support for NSOs

WOSM provides direct support to its global membership of NSOs and National Scout Associations. These Member Organizations can access a wide range of services, resources, grants, and guidance that are easily accessible virtually and in-person.
