Scouting in the Maldives has a rich history, dating back to the early 1960s when the first Scout troop was established on the capital island of Malé. Today, the movement has grown significantly and is now an integral part of the country's youth development.
To help National Scout Organisations (NSO's) prepare for and respond to crises, the Scout Association of the Maldives recently held a crisis communication and reputation management workshop in collaboration with the World Scout Bureau Asia Pacific Support Centre.
