Scouting started nearly a century ago, and today there are 28 million Scouts worldwide, in 216 countries and territories.

In 2007, Scouting celebrates its Centenary, and thousands of activities by millions of Scouts will help to change the world for good.

West Warwickshire will be holding a weeks district camp with lots of activities. Planning for the event has already started! This camp will be one NOT to miss!!

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.
