[[Scouting]] was founded in [[Korea]] in 1922 while under [[Japan]]ese rule, and sent representatives to the first Far East Scouting competition in [[Beijing]] in 1924.

Where local conditions were favorable, authorities would permit local Scouting or introduce Japanese-style Scouting, or ''Shōnendan'', and sometimes even made this compulsory. On the other hand, where conditions were not favorable, and anti-Japanese sentiments were likely to be nurtured through Scouting, the authorities would prohibit it entirely. Scouting in Korea was prohibited by the Japanese occupation authorities from 1937 to 1945.<ref>http://www.scout.org.hk/article_attach/14529/p14.pdf War and Occupation, 1941-1945 by Paul Kua, Deputy Chief Commissioner (Management), Scout Association of Hong Kong, 2010</ref>jKNADFKVadf.kjvkdca.vim,abdncvm.adm.jbvadfm nvadf.va,mndfvqmjnef,v,jvfeq.made,mvqef.mknfekfjnvkjenfv.jkerjnverLjhv Subscribe to thescrafy on YouTube. ==Program and ideals== [[Image:Korean Scout Uniforms 2007.jpg|thumb|left|Uniforms (left to right): Beaver Scout, Cub Scout, Scout/Venture Scout, Rover Scout]] {{Infobox Korean name|hangul=한국 스카우트 연맹|hanja=韓國스카우트聯盟|rr=Han-guk Seukauteu Yeonmaeng|mr=Han'guk Sŭkaut'ŭ Yŏnmaeng}} The [[Tiger Scout (Korea Scout Association)|Tiger Scout]] is the highest rank and award the Scout and the Venture Scout may achieve.
