  4. Mission of Scouting The Mission of Scouting is 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. This is achieved by: • Involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal education 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 them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.
