The Scout Association of Malta

The Scout Association of Malta A member of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement As of 2011, there were 2,936 members on the island.

Founded in 1908, The Scout Association of Malta has always maintained a high and respectable scouting tradition. Its leaders and members are committed to further the ideals of Scouting in line with those as traditionally established by the Founder, Lord Baden Powell and as further developed by the World Scout Movement. The Association is a forward looking organisation that enjoys great respect bo

th locally and internationally. The Scout Motto is Kun Lest, translating as Be Prepared in Maltese. The membership badge of the Scout Association of Malta prominently features the Maltese eight-pointed cross. Scouting appeared on the island of Malta very soon after the experimental scouting camp on Brownsea Island was conducted by Robert Baden-Powell in August 1907. The 1st Sliema Scout Troop applied for recognition on November 9, 1908, and this was received a year later. At this time there were 338 Boy Scouts and 3 Scoutmasters listed as members of the Malta Boy Scouts Association. The association was formerly registered as an Overseas Branch of The Boy Scouts Association on 15 September 1913. The First World War had a significant impact on Scouting on Malta, since most of the Scoutmasters were also servicemen and were ordered to the front in Europe. Many of the Scouts also volunteered for duties as interpreters, coast watchers and messengers, as well as to serve in hospitals and other support establishments. By the end of 1915, there were 84 Scouts on war duty from the island, and only 105 Scouts and leaders on Malta. However, as the latter half of the war progressed, membership rose sharply, and the association's general meeting on 30 November 1917, reported 1,200 members with 28 Scout Troops on the island. The Second World War saw similar service from the Maltese Scouts, as they supported the Allied forces throughout the aerial siege of 1940 to 1943. This resulted in the association and its members receiving a collective award of the Bronze Cross, "in recognition of their courage and devotion to duty in the face of continuous enemy action in the war for freedom". The island of Malta became an independent state in 1964. In October 1966, It was decided at an extraordinary general meeting of the Malta Boy Scouts Association that it should remove itself from The Scout Association of the United Kingdom and seek direct membership of the World Scout Conference. The association was recognised as an independent organisation in December 1966, with Lady Olave Baden-Powell, acting as the Vice-President of the World Bureau, presenting the certificate to the Chief Scout of Malta. In 2007, the association inaugurated the Beaver section.

A โ€œfor Rovers, by Roversโ€ event, AGORA focuses on the Rover section and uses the Scout Method to explore important issues affecting young people today. This yearโ€™s theme centred around peace education ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Through interactive sessions, participants explored different cultures, shared experiences from their home countries, and discovered how Rover programmes across Europe promote peace. They also reflected on the impact young people can have within their communities, while taking part in activities that encouraged personal development and youth empowerment ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Beyond the sessions, cultural exchange came to life during International Night, where traditions, food, and friendships were shared ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฒ

An inspiring experience that strengthened ideas, built meaningful connections, and highlighted the vital role young people play in shaping a more peaceful future โœจ
