To contribute to the
education of young people, through a value system
based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a
better world where people are self-fulfilled as
individuals and play a constructive role in society.
Scouting’s Mission is achieved by:
- involving youth throughout their formative
years in a non-formal educational process.
- using a specific method that makes each
individual the principal agent in his or her
development as a self-reliant, supportive,
responsible and committed person.
- assisting youth to establish a value system
based upon spiritual, social and personal
principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.
Scouting is based on three broad principles which
represent its fundamental beliefs. These include:
Principles
- Duty to God: Defined as,
The responsibility to adhere to spiritual
principles, and thus to the religion that
expresses them, and to accept the duties
therefore.
- Duty to Others: Defined as,
The responsibility to one's local, national and
global community members to promote peace,
understanding and cooperation, through
participation in the development of society,
respect for the dignity of one's fellow-beings,
and protection of the integrity of the natural
world.
- Duty to Self: Defined as,
The responsibility for the development of
oneself to one's full potential physically,
intellectually, spiritually and socially.
Scout Promise:

I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and the Queen
