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:
“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!

the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day

the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
