How do I stop Galaxy S3 mini from scanning WIFI.

My S3 Mini is constantly scanning. I cannot find where I go to disable if it it possible. It is scanning even after I am home and on my own secure wifi.:cool:

I think you can just leave the switch off. At least you can in the S3 and S4. I have a quick toggle in the pull down menu.

With the switch on of course it'll keep searching.
