Scouting in Sweden today If you come to Sweden today in a scout uniform you will without a doubt be recognised. The Guide and Scout movement is known and respected throughout the country, and is active both in the countryside and the towns. Scouting and Guiding can be found in about 1000 places throughout the country. That nature and environmental questions are important is obvious. Here in Sweden you are never far from the woods and lakes.
Outdoor life is part of the Swedish lifestyle both summer and winter.
But also scouts are aware of the threat of environmental pollution. That's why an important part of out programme is learning to care for the environment. We are engaged in public life both within the country and internationally. Disabled young people take part in all our activities, and also go camping. Immigrants and refugees to Sweden also participate in our groups and activities.
