100years

Scouting started in 1907, with an experimental camp on
Brownsea Island in the UK for 20 boys from a wide variety of
social backgrounds.

Today, Scouting is a million times bigger than when it first
started. It involves girls and boys, men and women from every
race, religion and culture, and nearly every country in the
world.

In 2007, Scouting celebrates its worldwide Centenary. This is
an opportunity to promote the values, benefits and
achievements of Scouting to the world, and also for the millions
of Scouts around the world to make a real difference to the
lives of others through their Centenary activities.

The single theme for all events and activities for the
Centenary of Scouting and the 21st World Scout Jamboree is:
2007: One World One Promise.
