The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is one of the largest youth organisations in the world. Scouting is a grassroots educational youth movement that is truly bottom-up in its structure and approach in engaging young people from all over the world.
World Scouting today is a confederation of 164 National Scout Organizations (NSO) in a network of over 40 million members in more than 1 million local community Scout Groups. Some 7 million members are volunteers who support the local activities, resulting in a huge multiplier effect.
