The Association des Scouts du Rwanda (ASR, Scout Association of Rwanda) is the national Scouting organization of Rwanda. Scouting in Rwanda was founded in 1940 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1975. The coeducational association has 18,859 members (as of 2004).
History
Scouting in Rwanda began in 1940. In the following years a number of different associations developed. In 1966, these formed a joint body, the Association des Scouts du Rwanda, which was admitted to WOSM in 1975.
In 2007, the ASR will host the African Scout Conference.
The ASR is supported by a number of European and American Scout associations, including the German Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg, the Belgian Vlaams Verbond van Katholieke Scouts en Meisjesgidsen, the Association des Scouts du Canada and the Boy Scouts of America.
