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:
“Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
