The Asia-Pacific Region services [[Scouting]] in the land area of [[Asia]] south of [[Siberia]] and east of [[Central Asia]], and the bulk of the Pacific Basin, with the exception of the [[Federated States of Micronesia]], the [[Marshall Islands]] and [[Palau]], which are under the [[Interamerican Region]] by way of the [[Aloha Council]] of the [[Boy Scouts of America]]. | ||
The Asia-Pacific Scout Region has witnessed the births and rebirths of national Scout organizations ever since the region was founded in 1956. Starting with ten founding members, it grew to 25 member countries by 2003, out of which 23 are full-fledged members and two are associate members, encompassing 17 million Scouts. Eight of the 15 largest Scout associations in the world are in the Region. All the formerly communist states of [[Central Asia]] and the [[Soviet Union]] have developed or are developing Scouting in the wake of the renaissance in the region. For several years, communism repressed Scouting in [[Afghanistan]], where it has newly returned, as well as in [[Mongolia]], which had been the first Soviet satellite state since 1924. | The Asia-Pacific Scout Region has witnessed the births and rebirths of national Scout organizations ever since the region was founded in 1956.
