Morphology
The meaning 'an organization that promotes or runs scouting activities' is directly and compositionally built from 'scouting' (the activity of scouting) + 'organization' (a collective group). This noun + noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately inferable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun scouting organization comes from the word scout, meaning a person sent ahead to look or watch. When Robert Baden-Powell used that idea to start youth 'Scout' groups who learned outdoor skills, a scouting organization became the group that runs those activities.
