Nepal Scouts

Scouting started in Nepal in 1952. The Association, Nepal Scouts, was recognized by the World Scout Conference in 1969. The Association is open to boys and girls of all religions; rallies and all social service activities are organized jointly, but training, camping and all other aspects of the programme are separate for Girl and Boy Scouts. The emphasis of the programme is upon handicrafts, hiking, camping, nature conservation and community development. Special emphasis is upon the latter. There are three Sections: Cubs aged 7½ - 12+ years Scouts aged 12 - 15+ years Rovers aged 16 - 25+ years
