Diversity and Inclusion

Scouting is helping to create a more peaceful and inclusive world. We are actively eliminating discrimination and creating safe, equal opportunities for all by removing barriers and reimagining programmes to ensure that even more young people experience Scouting.

To truly thrive, Scouting must reflect the diversity of the communities it serves. That means understanding, respecting, and valuing different perspectives — and ensuring that both youth members and adults feel welcome, engaged, and empowered.

With this Service, your National Scout Organization (NSO) can strengthen its policies, programmes, and strategies so that Scouting in your country is open, accessible, and representative of its rich and diverse communities by actively including all young people and adults.
