Scouting in the Republic of China

International Scouting units in the Republic of China

The Republic of China also has active expatriate Scout groups, including two organizations focused on serving children of American military families living in Taiwan Area and elsewhere in eastern Asia and the western Pacific: USA Girl Scouts Overseas, and Boy Scouts of America, serviced by the Taiwan District of the Far East Council.[1] These councils serve BSA and GSUSA units composed of children of diplomatic, business and military personnel, and international units run under their auspices.
