Scouts during the Second World War

During the Second World War, Scouts carried on both at home and abroad. 

Scouts on the Home Front used their skills to support their communities. Adult members and Scout volunteers helped to support refugees and displaced people. In Prisoner of War (POW) camps across the world, Scouts secretly carried on Scouting, risking punishment in order to keep their connection with the Movement going.
