Green Scouting
Since the 1980s, self-styled Green Scouts have appeared in several countries, related to the protection of the environment and in some cases linked to Greens Parties.〔http://www.eeiu.org/chapters/sevastopol/updates.html〕 However, specifically environmentally-minded Scouts have existed since the very earliest days of the movement.
==Background==
In response to a rash of devastating fires in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the State of Michigan established a group of Boy Scouts called the ''Michigan Forest Scouts'' in 1912.〔http://www.virtualscoutmuseum.com/Galleries/Other/other.html〕 A similar group, with nearly identical badges, was later established in the State of New York.〔http://www.virtualscoutmuseum.com/text.html〕 The purpose of these organizations was not character building, as it was with the Boy Scouts of America, and there were no ranks or merit badges. Instead, the Forest Scouts were charged with protecting the state's forests, and as a result were considered auxiliary fire wardens. Although the BSA typically disapproved of such groups, it was not so with the Forest Scouts. In one of the BSA's annual reports, the Forest Scouts are mentioned with approval and a note is made that "the groups are headed up by Boy Scout men and that the Forest Scouts and the Boy Scouts of America are closely affiliated."〔(Michigan Forest Scouts: for the protection of frontier life and property and reforestation, J. H. McGillivray, William R. Oates, Michigan. State Game, Fish and Forest Fire Dept, 1912 )〕
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama himself has had direct involvement with Green Scouting on at least two occasions, when on September 3, 1999 he was made a Patron of the Global Movement of Green Scouts in New Delhi, India.〔http://www.tibet.net/hhdl/eng/patron〕
Scouting organizations in Niger include the Association Nigerienne des Scouts de l'Environnement (ANSEN), founded in 2003, which seems to have UN accreditation.〔http://www.un.org/africa/osaa/ngodirectory2/dest/countries/printNGO.asp?lang=ENG&country=36&ngo=NIG11〕
