Scouting guided by Baden Powell pursued its internationlist credo (a brotherhood of Scouting) in manyways. The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) was founded after World War in the aftermath oif the first International Jamboree. WOSM is the largest international Scouting organization. It's girl counterpart, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) provide support to national associtions atound the world. They help build contacts arond the world for the national associations. The most obvious international activity is the World Jamboree. The first World Jamboree was held in Britain (1920). Other asctivities include visits of Scout units to Scouts in other countries. For Americans this was difficult because of the cost, but for Europeans it was much easier as thevcojntries are relatively small with mby nearby by borders. Soon we see visits between countries with a long history of histilities. And Scouts engaged in a range of ctivitie including drives and collections to assist Scouts and others in fireign countries. Thi was especially pronounced during and after Wirkd War I and II.
