Countries With No Scouting Organization
In 2008, WOSM listed six sovereign countries as without Scouting. The People's Republic of China, with assistance from the Asia-Pacific Region, now has a Scout association in its infancy, hence it has been moved to the next section.
- Andorra - Scouting in Andorra
- Burma - Burmese Scouting prior to 1962
- Cuba - Cuban Scouting prior to 1961 and in exile
- North Korea - shared history with Korea Scout Association prior to 1950
- Laos - Laotian Scouting prior to 1975 and in exile

Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or organization:
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
