[[Scouting]] in Tuvalu was first introduced in [[1914]], while known as the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. Scouting operated as branch of [[the Scout Association]] (UK) in the early years. The Gilbert and Ellice Scout Association was founded in [[1927]], and joined the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] in [[1933]]. The Gilbert and Ellice Islands were separated administratively in the 1970s to become the independent Commonwealth nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati, and their Scouting movements took different paths.

Today, Scouting in the island nation remains a branch of the British Scout Association.
