Core values

- Scouting has a statistically significant positive impact on nearly all personal development outcomes, including leadership, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and active citizenship[1].
- Participation in Scouting is correlated with higher academic and conduct grades, constructive peer relations, and positive emotional adjustment. It also decreases delinquency rates and fosters a sense of community obligation[3].
- Scouts demonstrate higher levels of planning, goal-orientation, and social values. They are more likely to be in leadership positions, volunteer, and donate to charitable groups[3][5].
- Scouting provides lifelong benefits, including self-confidence, ethical standards, and career development. It also promotes environmental care and community service[5].
