So that the human can practice his social life according to standards, values, and patterns of behaviour that included in the culture of society; the society bears responsibility for its socialization, through several institution operating in a connected and continuous manner.

Similar to the scouting movement that follows a small groups system, by working on the development of various capacities of children (spiritual, social, physical, and others), in order to ensure the formation of the child personality at all scouting categories: cubs; scouts; advanced scouts; and bo;y scouts.

Where the activities of the Scouts plajy an important role in providing the individuals with a range of life skills that enable him to face various daily and future problems.

Life skills are especially important in our present age, which is characterized by a multitude of problems and variables.

So this research was an attempt to identify the role of the Scout Movement in the development of some life skills of the individuals belonging to it, which can be formulated through the following proposition: - Does the scouting movement play a role in the development of some life skills (the social skills and work with group; the communication and connection skills; the leadership skills) in the individuals belonging to it? - Are there statistically significant differences between individuals affiliated with the scouting movement in acquiring some life skills depending to: years of involvement in scouts; the Scout category (Advanced Scout / Boy Scout); scout group? In order to address this issue on the field, we applied a measure of some life skills related to the nature of Scouts activities, consisting of 64 paragraphs distributed into 03 life skills (the social skills and work with group; the communication and connection skills; the leadership skills).

The descriptive approach was used in this study and applied to a sample composed of 68 scouts (advanced scout; Bo;y Scout) of the total of 88 scouts of the both categories; they were selected according to the comprehensive inventory method, they are divided into 05 groups.

The results appeared that the Scout Movement plays a major role in the development of life skills in the individuals belonging to it.

There are also no significant differences in the acquisition of life skills in individuals associated with the scout movement, whether it is the variable ;years of engagement in scouts; or the scout group variable.

There are statistically significant differences in the acquisition of these skills according to the variable of the scout category (advanced scout / Bo;y Scout) for the Bo;y Scout.

Through the above, shows the need to encourage the bo;ys by their parents to join the scouts, to help them build an integrated personality in all its aspects.

The Scout Movement needs serious care to preserve this social institution which pla;ys a large role in the formation good and productive individuals, as it has begun to lose its importance.
