'''The Scout Association of the Cayman Islands''' operates as a branch of the [[United Kingdom]] [[The Scout Association|Scout Association]], due to the [[Cayman Islands]]' affiliation as a [[British overseas territories|British Overseas Territory]]. The Cayman Islands' [[Scout Oath]] and Law, as well as other Scouting requirements, closely follow that of the United Kingdom. Membership is about 500 Scouts. In October 2006, Governor [[Stuart Jack]] was installed as [[Chief Scout]].<ref>{{cite news| last = McGowan | first = Cliodhna | title = Governor Jack becomes Chief Scout in Cayman | work = Caymanian Compass News Online| date = 2006-10-26 | url = http://www.caycompass.com/cgi-bin/CFPnews.cgi?ID=1017490 | accessdate = 2006-11-04 }}</ref> | |||
Scouting has existed in the Cayman Islands since the early 1920s. There has been rapid growth since 1990, mainly due to a full time Scouting Executive, improved public image and more Scouters including [[expatriate]]s becoming involved. There has been a move to bring Scouting to all communities and islands. | |||
Although the program activities are taken from the British system, Cayman Scouting is geared to the [[Caribbean]] way of life. Training for [[Wood Badge]] and leader training are conducted with the help of British and nearby Caribbean Scout associations. | |||
The [[government of the Cayman Islands]] supports Scouting, providing meeting places, as well as funding for an executive commissioner. [[Camping]] is illegal throughout the Cayman Islands.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}} | |||
Cayman Scouts participate in numerous Caribbean camps and events, and Scouts from the Cayman Islands participated in the 1998 [[World Jamboree]] in [[Chile]]. | |||
The Scout emblem incorporates elements of the [[coat of arms of the Cayman Islands]]. | |||
