The Asociación de Scouts Dominicanos (Dominican Scout Association) is the national Scouting organization of the Dominican Republic. Scouting came to the Dominican Republic in 1914, and the Asociación de Scouts Dominicanos was founded in 1920 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1930.[1] It serves 1,278 Scouts of both sexes as of 2011.[2]
Scouts are active in community service, tree planting, conservation and pollution control, and are becoming active in environmental awareness.
Many Scouts, Rovers and Scout Leaders attend annual training courses in fire control and lifesaving conducted by the Fire Department.
The Scout Motto is Siempre listo, Always ready.
The highest rank was formerly the Scout Enriquillo, named for a Taíno cacique who rebelled against the Spaniards in the 16th century.
The membership badge of the Asociación de Scouts Dominicanos incorporates elements of the flag of the Dominican Republic.
Yo prometo por mi honor y con la gracia de Dios, hacer cuanto de mí dependa para cumplir mis deberes para con Dios y la patria, ayudar al prójimo en todas circunstancias y cumplir fielmente la Ley Scout.
