There are more than 50 million Scouts, young people and adults, male and female, in over 200 countries and territories.
The birth of the Scout Movement in Kenya came shortly after it started in the United Kingdom. The first Nairobi troop was formed at St. John’s Church (C.M.S.) Pumwani on November 24, 1910. In 1925 the first Eldoret troop was registered. The first Kijabe (Kenton College) troop was registered in 1926.
The Scout Laws is a set of guiding principles that all Scouts are expected to follow. These principles are designed to help Scouts develop into responsible and active citizens who contribute positively to society.
Scouting is a global voluntary, non-political, value based educational movement for young people that builds friendships, experiences, and imparts skills, knowledge and attitudes for life that shape young people’s futures as active citizens. It provides non-formal education, which complements the core curriculum offered in schools and colleges.
We commit to contribute to the development of free, supportive, responsible and committed citizens who are men and women of character and integrity, agents of development, creative persons and spiritual people needed to build a better Kenya.

“When communities rally behind girls’ education, everyone wins,” said Betty Toroitich a student and scout at Marich Pass thanking the Scouting fraternity in the country for living the promise and helping where it matters most and ensuring they stay in school”.
“I applaud the Kenya Scouts Association for using Scouting as a tool to retain learners in school, especially in marginalized areas of West Pokot. Through these projects on kitchen gardening and sinking of water boreholes, mentorship, peer-to-peer learning and sanitary towel drives, Scouts are playing a critical role in addressing dropout rates”, said Dr. Musani, TSC County Director West Pokot.
“You impact as a movement can be felt by not only learners in our schools but also the communities surrounding these schools”, said Mr. Benson Ariteluk the West Pokot County Project Manager appreciating the leadership at the Movement for supporting the governments efforts towards education by ensuring learners stay in school.
