Directory of Organizations Resources

Home > Recreation > Scouting > Organizations

Scouting grew into an international movement within the first year of its existence. International Scouting organizations have grown up to facilitate and support the international aspect of the movement. This category includes those various supporting organizations that assist in the provision of scouting programs on a worldwide basis as well as individual scouting, guiding or girl scouting groups or sections, and their senior councils.

In 1938 Winston S. Churchill made this tribute to BP and the Scouting Movement.

In this uncertain world one cannot be sure of much. But it seems probable that one or two hundred years hence, or it may be more, this monument that we have seen set up in our lifetime will still proclaim the fame of its founder, not in the silent testimony of bronze or stone, but as an institution guiding and shaping the lives and thoughts of men.
