The celebration of the Centenary of Scouting worldwide takes place in 2007 with the biggest events that Scouting has ever seen.. 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.

Scouting started in 1907 with an experimental camp for 20 boys. Today, Scouting is a million times bigger and involves girls and boys, men and women from every race, religion and culture, and nearly every country in the world!

Our Centenary is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in exciting programmes and show the world what Scouting is all about. We need to make the most of this unique year to develop better Scouting for more young people and their communities. What are you doing to celebrate our Centenary?

2007 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 2007 World Scout Task Force, composed of representatives of World Scouting and of Scouting 2007, is leading the planning to realise this vision and help Scouts around the world make the 100th Anniversary objectives a reality:

To celebrate 100 years of Scouting

To promote peace

To demonstrate the unique value of Scouting

To provide enjoyable and beneficial experiences

To demonstrate a commitment to nature and the environment
