The Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique (LEMO), the national Scouting organization of Mozambique, was founded in 1994, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1999. The coeducational Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique has 31,108 members as of 2017, with most members located in the major cities. The National Chief Scout Leonardo Adamowicz is from Poland, hence the Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique uniform is similar to the Polish uniform, adopted to climate differences. The similarities between the Mozambican Scout emblem and the Polish Scout lilijka may readily be noted, as well. The "D H P" in the emblem stands for Deus Honra Pátria, God Honor Country.

Mozambique hosted the 5th African Jamboree in 2006, and was expected to host the cancelled World Scout Moot in 2008. The association is a member of the Comunidade do Escutismo Lusófono (Community of Lusophone Scouting).

Program

The association is divided in four sections corresponding to age:

Lobitos (Cub Scouts) - ages 7 to 11
Exploradores juniores (Junior Explorers, i.e. Boy Scouts) - ages 12 to 15
Exploradores séniores (Senior Explorers, i.e. Explorer Scouts — ages 16 to 18
Caminheiros (Rover Scouts) - ages 19 to 21
