Scoutismus is often in contrast to the widespread in Germany bündisch seen marked Scouting, the significant influences of the youth movement shows.

A characteristic in the area of ​​activities is the implementation of scout camps. Instead, journeys are more typical of the Bündische movement . Another essential feature of Scoutism is an emphasis on internationality, as the Boy Scouts quickly understood themselves as an international movement and emphasized their solidarity with the Boy Scouts of other countries. The Bündische Jugend developed in this form only in Germany and therefore works more on the principle of "international understanding through getting to know each other".

The term scoutism is often used disparagingly in Germany.
