The World Scout Symbol is the emblem of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), representing Scouts in over 170 countries. The fleur-de-lis is the universal symbol of scouting worldwide.
The two stars symbolize truth and knowledge. The rope tied in a reef knot encircling the badge symbolizes the unity and brotherhood of scouts throughout the world, and the background of the rope forms a circle representing world brotherhood.
Scouting is the world's largest youth movement, with approximately 50 million members in 170+ countries. By becoming a Scout, young people join this global community of adventure, service, and brotherhood.
