The Sudan Scouts Association ( Gamiat el-Kashâfah es-Sudanya) is the national Scouting organization of Sudan. It was officially founded in 1935, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1956. The boys-only Sudan Scouts Association has 14,868 members as of 2011.,

Scouting in Sudan was begun in 1916 in Atbarah by Harry Jackson. Scouting developed slowly in the following years, spreading to Khartoum in 1919 and followed by Girl Guides in 1928.

Sudanese Scouts are active in serving the community in leprosy projects, AIDS prevention, family planning, health awareness and many other projects in cooperation with other organizations such as the United Nations.

The outdoor life is one of the fundamental activities in Sudan. The country has many forests and jungles suitable for outdoor camping and hiking activities.
