History
Scouting existed in all parts of Yemen at various times, including British Scouts in Aden, and a separate historical organization first in the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and then in the Federation of South Arabia.
The 17th Arab Regional Conference was held in Yemen in 1986.
The Yemen Scouts and Guides Associations was established through the merger of the Yemen Scout Association (founded in 1954) and the Yemen Republic Girl Guides Association (founded in 1962, later the People's Republic of Southern Yemen Guides Association) in 1987.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
