Started in Sri Lanka with the prime objective of making "better use" of the free time of boys, Scouting has grown to be a worldwide movement. The World Scout Movement is now the biggest youth body in the world comprising more than 50 million members, boasting a history of over a centenary, since its inception in 1907 as the brainchild of Lord Robert Baden-Powell.

Scouting is a worldwide movement for youth aimed at producing community-minded, independent and abled individuals and young leaders who see beyond sectarianism and narrow self-interest in the ordering of their lives and influencing the lives of people around them.

Among the many Scout Troops in Sri Lanka, the 16^th Colombo Scout Group of S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia has excelled exceptionally well for over 100 years, and earning the reputation as "The Model Scout Group" on the island.
