Introduction

Welcome to the portal about Scouting and Guiding!
Scout logo3.svg
Scouting and Guiding is a worldwide youth movement composed of many organizations. Its aim is to develop young people physically, spiritually and mentally so that youth may take a constructive place in society. This is achieved through non-formal education with emphasis on practical activities in the outdoors, the so called Scout method. The Scout Movement was founded in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell, a retired Lieutenant General in the British Army. He was also at that time a good friend of William Alexander Smith, Founder of the Boys' Brigade. Currently Scouting and Guiding have over 38 million members in 217 countries and territories represented through several different Scouting associations at the international level.

White Stag Leadership Development Program is a non-profit organization founded on the Monterey Peninsula, California, in 1958 by Dr. Béla H. Bánáthy. The program was a pioneer in teaching leadership to youth which it defines in part as comprising eleven specific leadership competencies. These competencies were later adapted by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America and introduced into both adult Wood Badge and junior leader training. These two programs had primarily focused on teaching Scoutcraft skills, and the change to teaching leadership was a marked cultural shift for how both adults and youth were trained in the skills of Scouting. The White Stag leadership competencies remained a key part of both training programs from 1974 through 2003.
