[edit] History
The first overseas troop of The Scout Association, the 1st Gibraltar Scout Troop, was established on 27th March 1908. It has since amalgamated with the 4th Gibraltar Scout Troop, becoming the 1st/4th Gibraltar (Marques of Milford Haven's Own) Scout Troop. Lone Scouts could be found in Gibraltar by 1913.
[edit] Today
The Gibraltar Scout Oath and Law, as well as other Scouting requirements, closely follow that of the UK.
Although the program activities are taken from the British system, Gibraltar Scouting is geared to the local way of life. Training for Wood Badge and leader training are conducted with the help of British and nearby affiliated Scout associations. Gibraltar Scouts participate in numerous camps and events in Gibraltar as well as throughout the UK and southern Spain.
[edit] Girl Guiding
Girl Guides are served by the Gibraltar branch of Girlguiding UK.
