Scouting

Scouting is a world-wide movement aimed at developing young people so that they can take a constructive place in society at the local, national and international level.

[Boy Scouts]? was founded by [Lord Robert Baden-Powell]? in 1907 in England. Later [Girl Scouts]? developed in 1910. In the United States, the scouting organization is the [Boy Scouts of America]? (BSA).

Two world-wide organizations coordinate the scouts and the guides of the world:

The WOSM (http://www.wosm.org/) for boys and mixed groups.

The WAGGGS (http://www.wagggs.org/) for the girls-only groups.
