Founder of World Scouting Sir Robert Baden Powell Started the Scout Movement
in 1907 for character development of children and dedicate them self to
serve others. In 1916 our Founder Created the Wolf Cub Programme for
young people aged between seven and eleven years. In 2016 Scouts

In 2016 we will commemorate one Hundred Years of the Cub Scout Section
with local and 11th National Cubboree Celebrations. Cub scouting originally identified as Wolf Cubs was started first in
Sri Lanka by the Scout Troop at Richmond College Galle. To that effect
