The Kingston Scout Museum is having a little fun with this exhibit by showcasing the Scouting around the world through the ABCs.
Scouting is a beloved activity that youth around the world enjoy and this is by no means a comprehensive list. But we thought it would be interesting to take the alphabet and match each letter to one country, showcasing a little snippet of their Scouting movement. The only letter we were unable to match up with was for “X”!
