⚜️ The organization of Bulgarian Scouts, part of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, is a youth non-governmental organization whose mission is to help children and young people develop their full potential and support their growth into active and responsible citizens. The Scout program is based on the scout method and combines elements that support the development of young people.
About the Training
