Les Scouts Tunisiens

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.
