Welcome to the official website of the Barbados Scouts Association. Scouting in Barbados is administered by the Barbados Boy Scouts Association. The Association has jurisdiction over the entire island, and its headquarters is at Hazelwood, Upper Collymore Rock, St. Michael.
The first Troop on the island was registered on 9th March, 1912, at Combermere School, just 5 years after Scouting was founded. From 1912 to 1969, the local Association operated as a branch of the British Scout Association. On 20th February, 1969, the Association’s Constitution was approved, making it an independent Association and the 95th member of the World Scout Conference.
At present, the Association is headed by H.E. Dame Sandra Mason G.C.M.G., D.A., Patron, the Hon. Sir Marston Gibson, K.A., Chief Scout and President, and Mr. Trevor DeT. A. Jones, Chief Commissioner. It has a membership of over 2,000 boys and adults.
The island is divided into three districts – Bridgetown, Northern and Southern Districts.
Through this website we hope to create a “one-stop” source of information for the members of the Association, well-wishers and those who are just curious.
