The Scouting Movement in Singapore
The Singapore Scout Association (SSA) has a long Scouting history, dating back more than a century ago to its inception in 1910. Having more than 10,000 members, SSA is part of a world-wide Scouting movement comprising more than 50 million members spanning over 220 countries. Dedicated to the holistic development of youth, our programme includes a myriad of activities traversing land, air and sea. Our programme is based on a broad and multi-faceted framework, emphasizing social, physical, intellectual, character, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual, for the continued development of Singapore.
Ever since the Association’s establishment, thereafter, recognised as a charity in 1985 and accorded with the status of an Institution of a Public Character (IPC), generations of youth in Singapore from varied backgrounds and abilities, have undergone Scouting activities, which have contributed to turning them into capable, respectful, reliable citizens and responsible leaders in various sectors of society.
Cognisant of the urban environment in Singapore, with a multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-religious populace, the Association is constantly evolving its Scouting activities and maintaining our relevance to the evolving needs of our environment and Singapore.
