The Boy Scouts of Nigeria (BSN) is the national Scouting organization of Nigeria. Scouting was founded in the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1915 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1961. BSN has 46,701 members as of 2004. ==History== Scouting was brought to Nigeria by the British, and Scout groups were created for the dependents of British citizens living in the country. Shortly after, local boys were permitted to be Scouts. Nigeria gained its independence in 1960 and the Scout movement immediately grew as the Scouting program was heavily promoted. C.C. Mojekwu served on the World Scout Committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1961 until 1969. In 1979, F.O. Ogunlana was awarded the ''Bronze Wolf'', the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting. Many Nigerian Scouts served internationally as a trainer or volunteer. Some won international awards and also manage unit or groups.
