WOSM is a non-governmental organisation with General Consultative Status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Its purpose is to promote unity and the understanding of Scouting's values, purpose and principles, while facilitating its growth and development. WOSM is an independent, worldwide, non-profit, and non-political organisation, which serves the Scout Movement through its NSO members.

Each of our 1 million+ local Scout groups follows a similar system of non-formal education suited to the unique aspects of their local community. Through peer-to-peer leadership supported by adults, each local Scout group embraces the same set of values illustrated in the Scout Promise and Law. Some five million members are volunteers who support the local activities, resulting in a huge multiplier effect. World Scouting today is a confederation of 173 National Scout Organizations (NSOs) in a network of over 57 million Scouts who are active in more than one million local community Scout groups worldwide. Scouting is a grassroots educational youth movement that is truly bottom-up in its structure and approach in engaging young people from all over the world. The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is one of the largest youth organisations in the world.

Alongside the development a new Vision and Strategy for Scouting to guide our Movement for the next decade, we are seeking to refresh the Scouting brand for the digital age to make Scouting even more relevant, attractive, modern, youthful and exciting to young people, adult volunteers, parents and National Scout Organization leadership. Over the last 15 years since the last brand update, Scouting has evolved and so too has the world - new digital technologies, creative design and online trends, innovation in education and youth development, the rise of social media platforms and online communities have all emerged. The Scouting brand was last updated in 2007-08 during an extensive and multi-year consultation, design and development phase. The Scouting brand is recognised globally and has been widely adopted by many National Scout Organizations to help position Scouting as the world’s leading educational youth Movement.
