The Gambia Scout Association, the national Scouting organization of The Gambia, was founded in 1921, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1984. The coeducational Gambia Scout Association has 18,448 members as of 2008.^[1] In 2007, David Hafner replaced Alieu Mamar Njie as Chief Commissioner.

Special activities include community service projects such as tree planting. Scouts regularly participate in camping and hiking. Music is also a very important part of Scouting in the Gambia, but because there is little money for instruments and sheet music, there is a waiting list to get into the Scout band, and they learn all their music by ear.^{[citation needed]}
