Scouting and Guiding in the Cayman Islands exist as branches of the parent organisations in the United Kingdom.

There has been rapid growth since 1990, mainly due to a full-time Scouting Executive, improved public image and more Scouters including expatriates becoming involved.

Although the program activities are taken from the British system, Cayman Scouting is geared to the Caribbean way of life.

The government of the Cayman Islands supports Scouting, providing meeting places, as well as funding for an executive commissioner.

The Scout emblem incorporates elements of the coat of arms of the Cayman Islands.
