What is Scouting?

Scouting is the finest framework created for an active youth organization. Because of its strong emphasis on integrity, leadership and values, many churches, schools and other non-profit groups have adopted scouting as their official youth activity program.

Their is a scouting program in nearly every country of the world and they mostly follow the original program developed by Sir Baden-Powell in 1910. MainTour covers many of these, but our major emphasis follows the Boy Scouts of America program.
