Association des Scouts de Djibouti:
The Association des Scouts de Djibouti[1] (Arabic: إتحاد الكشافة الدجيبوتي; ASD, Scout Association of Djibouti) is the national Scouting organization of Djibouti.
Djibouti is one of 29 countries where Scouting exists but where there is no National Scout Organization which is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement at the present time[2], and no organization was ever recognized by WOSM during the nation's periods of Scouting history.
[edit] History
The Association des Scouts de Djibouti was founded on May 23, 1985. Two postage stamps and a First day cover were issued on that occasion. After a period of growth, Scouting nearly disappeared in Djibouti. Activities were restarted with Leadership Training courses in 2008.[3]
[edit] Ideals
The Scout Motto is Kun Musta'idan or كن مستعدين, translating as Be Prepared in Arabic and Sois Prêt, translating as Be Prepared in French. The noun for a single Scout is Kashaf or كشاف in Arabic.
[edit] International Scouting units
The French Association des Guides et Scouts d'Europe (affiliated to the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe) maintains a Scout unit in Djibouti.[4]
