Scouts of Lebanon are part of the Lebanese Scouting Federation that comprises 28 scouting organizations in Lebanon and it organizes and supervises the scout movement here. Scouting was introduced in this country in 1912 by two teachers who came from England, Abdul Satar and Abdul Jabar el Kliairi who established the first Scout troop in the school owned by El Hibri, where they worked. The membership badge of the Lebanese Scouting Federation and many of the member Scout emblems worn by the scouts of Lebanon incorporate the Cedar of Lebanon, the national symbol. At the present time, there is a number of around 14.400 scouts of Lebanon who work together to make a better world. The Lebanese Scouting Federation, since its launching has been participating to most of the meetings, camps and committees both Arab and globally. Scouts of Lebanon are highly respected by their fellow citizens for promoting ideas of peace and unity through campaigns and summer camps, their main focus being on erasing the effects of the war. Their mission is that of educating the youth so that it will play an active role in making the world a better place, thinking globally and acting locally and instilling values that will be carried further by the future scouts of Lebanon.
