It was named after British explorer Frederick Courteney Selous (1851–1917), and their motto was pamwe chete, which in the Shona language, roughly means "all together", "together only" or "forward together". The charter of the Selous Scouts directed them to "the clandestine elimination of terrorists/terrorism both within and without the country."
