The Scout and Guide movement in Cambodia is served by two organizations: Scouting and Guiding was introduced to Cambodia in the 1930s, when several independent organizations emerged.
Under the Japanese occupation during World War II all Scouting and Guiding activities were banned.
An effort to reestablish Scouting in 1972 lasted only until 1975, when it was banned again by the Khmer Rouge.
In 2008, a Cambodian troop of the Girl Scouts of the USA was started in Philadelphia.
