Scouting in Uganda was started by a British missionary in 1915 and the Uganda Scouts Association has been a member of the world organisation of the Scout Movement since 1964. During the years of turmoil Scouting in Uganda was dormant. However like Scouting around the world, Scouting in Uganda has developed to meet the needs of young people in the country and it plays an important role in the development of the community.

Activity

• Carry out some research and find out when your Group and Pack were started.
