Thank you to all the women and girls in our Scout Movement for preparing our members for success in life. Your dedication and encouragement give our youth the strength to become the best versions of themselves and to pursue their dreams.
In 2000, we opened our doors to girls. Today, 24 years later, 47% of our members are female. Having a diverse membership means that we can help build the skills, confidence and resilience of our young people. By Scouting together, girls and boys learn to communicate, to work as a team and to take turns in leading their peers to achieve a common goal. This methodology fosters understanding, fosters inclusion and enables our members to internalise the concept of gender equality.
