Aims of the Scout Movement
The aim of the Association is to promote the development of young people in
achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as individuals,
as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

The first Scout Troop that Baden Powell inspected was the
