Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. This is the essence of scouts, they are a positive power of construction. Some considered scouting as an educational revolution, the fact cannot be denied. However, scouting is more than that it is “a school of citizenship through woodcraft” said Sir Baden Powell. In Tunisia it has been always the main mission of scouts: to create a better citizen (from an early age) to build a better country The Scout Movement is based on the following principles: Duty to God - a person’s relationship with the spiritual values of life, the fundamental belief in a force above mankind. Duty to others – a person’s relationship with, and responsibility within, society in the broadest sense of the term: his or her family, local community, country and the world at large, as well as respect for others and for the natural world. Duty to self – a person’s responsibility to develop his or her own potential, to the best of that person’s ability. All members of the Scout Movement are required to adhere to the Scout Promise and Scout Law. The wording may vary in different National Scout Organizations as appropriate to the local culture, but they are all based on the Promise and Law originally conceived by the Founder of the Scout Movement, Baden-Powell. The Values of Scouting As Scouts we are guided by these values: Integrity - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. Respect - We have self-respect and respect for others. Care - We support others and take care of the world in which we live. Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends. The Scout Law A Scout believes in God and is loyal to his country. A Scout is noble and courteous, committed to his promises. A Scout is authentic and up-to date. A Scout is disciplined and well ordered. A Scout is watchful and witty. A Scout takes care of the environment. A Scout behaves well and masters his tasks. A scout is trustworthy, and he respects others’ belongings. A Scout is clean in thought, word and deed.
The Scout Method is based on a system of progressive non-formal self-education. Each activity is based on the age and needs of the scout member, therefore in a system like that what is important is not the knowledge you have but the skills you own. Each scout from his early age is always in evolution: psychologically, socially physically, spiritually and even emotionally. Scouts raise a generation of good citizens within their local communities and within the national and international scales. any one can join the Scouts whatever his/her color, religion, race...starting from the age of 5 years old and there is no limit age. - from 5 to 7: called the birds, they made activities in kindergarden - from 7 to 12: called Brownies (the girls),and Cubs (the boys) they camp - from 12 to 17: called Guides (the girls) and Scouts (the boys) - from 17 to 23: called Rovers - from 23 and above : called leaders all of them organize camps and workshops based on non formal education and they are all adequate with their age. te activities are about different fields: social, environmental, cultural.. The Tunisian Scouts participate in most international events and cooperate by making partnerships. The main objective now (2016) is with the Danish Scouts Kfum Spejderne and financed by the Danish Youth Council. the project started on 2009 with camp exchange between local groups then it becomes bigger and named "Future Leaders of Tunisia", then bigger and called "Future Leaders of the World". its divided in different subproject like "Communication and advocacy", "Entrepreneurship", "Citizenship" etc
