From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fiji Scouts Association, the national Scouting organization of Fiji, was founded in 1914, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1971. The coeducational Fiji Scouts Association has 2,786 members as of 2004.

Scouts are involved in numerous community service projects which assist the government. These include conservation of nature, disaster relief and various other forms of work in the community. After one hurricane, Scouts provided assistance by packing and distributing relief supplies.
