The Saint Lucia Scout Association (SLSA) is the national Scouting organization of Saint Lucia. Scouting in Saint Lucia started in 1910 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1990. The coeducational association has 355 members (as of 2004).
History
Scouting in Saint Lucia started in 1910 as an overseas branch of The Scout Association (UK). In 1935, the Saint Lucia Scout Association was officially founded as a branch of British Scouting. After the independence of Saint Lucia in 1968, the national association worked towards the recognition by WOSM, which was received in 1990. The SLSA hosted the Caribbean Jamboree in 2000.
Program
The association is divided in three age-groups:
- Cub Scouts (ages 7 to 11)
- Scouts (ages 12 to 15)
- Rover Scouts (ages 16 to 20)
