History

Scouting existed in all parts of Yemen at various times, including British Scouts in Aden, and a separate historical organization first in the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and then in the Federation of South Arabia.

The 17th Arab Regional Conference was held in Yemen in 1986.

The Yemen Scouts and Guides Associations was established through the merger of the Yemen Scout Association (founded in 1954) and the Yemen Republic Girl Guides Association (founded in 1962, later the People's Republic of Southern Yemen Guides Association) in 1987.

Activities

Yemen Scouts participate in basic Scouting activities, and in addition, they are involved in reforestation, literacy campaigns, and service to hospitals. Scouts have planted thousands of trees in this arid country and have learned modern ways to identify and treat plant diseases with the goal of increasing agricultural production.

Scouts are involved in rural areas by showing the community how to make safe drinking water and water filters out of common materials.

Scouts have participated in helping during natural disasters.

Motto

The Scout Motto is Kun Musta'idan or كن مستعداً, translating as Be Prepared in Arabic. The noun for a single Scout is Kashaf or كشاف in Arabic.

Emblems

The old and new Scout emblems both incorporate elements of the emblem of Yemen. The new emblem shows more closely the Marib Dam.
