His aim was to help young people develop self-reliance, citizenship, and respect for nature. Baden-Powell's ideas quickly gained global popularity, leading to the creation of Scout organizations worldwide. His work emphasized character-building through outdoor adventure, practical skills, and moral values, making Scouting a lifelong movement that encourages youth to become responsible and active members of society.
