The Asia-Pacific Scout Region is the divisional office of the World Scout Bureau of the World Organization of the Scout Movement
, headquartered in Makati City
, Philippines, with satellite offices in Australia and Japan. The Asia-Pacific Region services Scouting
in the land area of Asia south of Siberia
and east of Central Asia
, and the bulk of the Pacific Basin, with the exception of the Federated States of Micronesia
, the Marshall Islands
and Palau
, which are under the Interamerican Region by way of the Aloha Council of the Boy Scouts of America
.
The Asia-Pacific Scout Region has witnessed the births and rebirths of national Scout organizations since the region was founded in 1956. Starting with ten founding members, it grew to 25 member countries by 2003, out of which 23 are full-fledged members and two are associate members, encompassing 17 million Scouts. Eight of the 15 largest Scout associations in the world are in the Region. All the formerly communist states of Central Asia
and the Soviet Union
have developed or are developing Scouting in the wake of the renaissance in the region. For several years, communism repressed Scouting in Afghanistan
, where it has newly returned, as well as in Mongolia
, which had been the first Soviet satellite state since 1924. On the other hand,the World Scout Committee has accepted in 2009 the declaration of Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia (GPI) of having 17 million members for the census 2008. This has directly affected and changed the membership figure in the region, resulting in an increase of 9 million members,which now stands at a total of 24.7 million.
Widely separated by uneven resources, cultures, ethnic groups and technological resources, Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region generally enjoys the respect of the public and by governments, a wide array of volunteers encompassing public and private sectors, and is powered by a small but committed group of professionals in the Scouting service.
The current Regional Director is Abdullah Rasheed of the Maldives
