*[[Image:Flag of Abkhazia.svg|20px]] [[Abkhazia]] is served by the '''''Abkhazian Green Scouts Youth Organization'''''.

In these conditions the [[Centre for Humanitarian Programs]], together with the ecological society [[Apsabara]], both of which are local NGOs, carried out a pilot project for a rehabilitation of youth. The soon-founders of the Green Scouts organized a few treks to the mountains with children aged 13-16, with the aim of rehabilitation and ecological education. They asked the children what they would like to have in a youth organization, whereupon the children decided that they need a Scoutlike organization. The participants called it ''Green Scouts'', emphasizing the role of ecological education in their program.

These treks had a lot of resonance among youth, their parents and many professionals. This activity provides rehabilitation, physical and ecological education, and gives an opportunity for kids to develop their character, and for adults to share their knowledge with children. The Green Scouts hope that in the near future, the program will grow into an Abkhazia-wide Scout movement, with emphasis on ecological education.

The Green Scouts are running their program in a condition of economic crisis. The equipment the use is mainly privately owned. Finances have been provided by the Centre for Humanitarian Programs, taken from its limited budget. Several hundred dollars were donated from a British [[Quaker]] appeal toward the direct needs of the Green Scout program. British [[writer]] [[Peter Nasmith]] sent some photographic paper for the Green Scout photo laboratory.
