Tuvalu Scout Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The membership badge of the Gilbert and Ellice Scout Association featured a sea turtle, a symbol in use since the Ellice Islands were a colonial branch of British Scouting.

Scouting Portal

Scouting in Tuvalu was first introduced in 1914, while known as the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. Scouting operated as branch of the Scout Association (UK) in the early years. The Gilbert and Ellice Scout Association was founded in 1927, and joined the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1933. The Gilbert and Ellice Islands were separated administratively in the 1970s to become the independent Commonwealth nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati, and their Scouting movements took different paths.

Today, Scouting in the island nation remains a branch of the British Scout Association.

The Girl Guides Association of Tuvalu is a former member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, but membership was withdrawn in 2005.
