SCOUTING IN CHILE
GUIAS Y SCOUTS DE CHILE
GUIDES AND SCOUTS OF CHILE
Scouting was founded in 1909. Scouting came to Chile shortly after it's founding in England. Chile was among the first countries to organize Scout groups after England. In 1922, Chile was one of the founding members of the World Bureau, now WOSM.
Scouting in Chile has been a forerunner in social projects. They have a center in the south where they are involved in assisting poor children by providing meals, clothes and help with schooling. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the conditions to the point where the children will be able to return home.
There is also a project in the poorer sections of Santiago. Several Scout groups have been formed for the very poor children giving them a meal a day and helping them to learn Scouting skills that will lead them to improve their living conditions.
Programs have been established for disabled children.
Scouts help with disaster relief. After one earthquake, Scouts took charge of shelters caring for thousands of victims.
Scouts de Chile hosted the 19th World Jamboree in December 28, 1999. This was the first World Jamboree in South America. Scouts de Chile hosted about 30,000 Scouts with 1,343 Chilean Staff and 5,625 Chilean Scouts participating. Scouts de Chile did a great job.
