Scouting began in 1907 with the aim of teaching teens to accept and carry out their duties, to be independent trusting and cooperative, to acquire leadership skills and cultivate correct views about life, one's country and the world. There are 147 member associations in the World Scout Conference. The World Scout Bureau Office is located in Geneva, Switzerland, and there are six Regional Offices in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Eurasia, Central-America, Africa and Arab Regions. There are 23 Member Scout Organizations in the Asia-Pacific Region, including the Republic of China and Hong Kong. The ROC's association became a member in 1937, and the China Scout Movement has since become active internationally.
