Abstract
According to the participation in Scouting, the following question has arisen: What are the areas of personal development of the members of the Scout movement that are strengthened by participating in that organization? To answer to this question, the objective was to determine, from a systematic
search of the literature, the influence that belonging to the Scout movement has on its members according to what was reported in several research. Therefore, as a method it was decided to carry out a meta-synthesis that accounts for systematic research that seeks to integrate or compare the results of studies through a synthesis of qualitative data and quantitative descriptive findings. Research between the years 2014 – 2020, obtained from twelve electronic databases, was taken into account. As a result, eight areas were detected: social and environmental sensitivity, care and self-strengthening, fraternal bonds, empowerment for social inclusion and diversity, preparation for the future, character formation, cognitive stimulation and emotional skills. From the foregoing, it was possible to conclude that scouting can strengthen some areas of the participating children and young people, but the studies do not report measurement indicators of these strengthening aspects.
