The Sri Lanka Scout Association (Sinhala: (unicode:ශ්රී ලංකා බාලදක්ෂ සංගමය); (タミル語:இலங்கைச் சாரணர்க் கழகம்)), the national Scouting organization of Sri Lanka, was founded in 1912, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1953. The Ceylon Scout Council was incorporated by the Act No 13 of 1957. The coeducational Sri Lanka Scout Association has 33,709 members as of 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://scout.org/en/content/download/22261/199900/file/Census.pdf )〕 As Sri Lanka is a multireligious and multiracial country, Scouting has been a great unifying force. There are various community development projects carried out in cooperation with the government organizations, United Nations and other service organizations. Scouting has been introduced into the prisons. It has spread to other institutions such as certified schools. There are also Scout units for handicapped boys such as the blind and deaf and for boys in leprosy hospitals. ==History== * 1912 - The Boy Scouts of Ceylon (late Sri Lanka Scout Association) established the first scout troop, by District Civil Engineer, F.G.
