The Asociación de Scouts del Ecuador, the national Scouting organization of Ecuador, was founded in 1920, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922. The coeducational Asociación de Scouts del Ecuador has 3,220 members as of 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://scout.org/en/content/download/22261/199900/file/Census.pdf )〕 Scouting first came to Ecuador in 1912, when Cristóbal Vela, a diplomat in France, learned about the Scouting program in England. He introduced Scouting to boys in Quito which spread to other cities of the Highland Region, although they are less known in the Coast Region. Scouting is a respected organization in Ecuador and has been declared an "institution useful for the public welfare" by the government. Service activities are part of the Scout program. Scouts are a welcome sight during Ecuador's frequent earthquakes, as they are well organized and most helpful. In addition, the Scouts work with the Red Cross, helping in national disasters, community development, literacy campaigns and health campaigns. In the early 1960s, Scouts were known to the citizens as the "khaki angels," although their current uniforms are grey and blue. ==Program sections and ideals== *Lobatos (Wolf Cubs)-ages 7 to 11 *Scouts-ages 12 to 15 *Caminantes (Venturer)-ages 15 to 17 *Rovers-ages 18 to 25 The Lobato (Cub) motto is ''Siempre Mejor'', Always Better; the Scout Motto is ''Siempre listo'', Always Ready; the Caminante (Venturer) motto is ''Siempre Alerta'', Always Alert; and the Rover motto is ''Siempre Sirviendo'', Always Serving.
