Buddha’s Light Scouts first originated in Taiwan in 2000. Since then, groups have been set up in various Fo Guang Shan temples all over the world, operating under the umbrella of Buddha’s Light International Association. Our vision is for youth to learn and develop in a happy and family-orientated environment with Buddhist values and ethics, and cultivate the practice of the Three Acts of Goodness, that is ‘Do good deeds, say good words, think good thoughts’.

The purpose of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

人間佛教倡導生活教育和品德的培養，佛光童軍帶領兒童及青少年走向大自然，訓練他們獨立與生活技巧，在活動中開發潛能增進創造力，從團體生活享受快樂中學習，在佛法熏習培養其責任與榮譽感，得以發揮領導才能與試練和諧的人際關係，成為「有品德、有品質、有品味」的菩薩。
