Scouting and Guiding in the Pitcairn Islands

Scouting and Guiding in the Pitcairn Islands is served by Pitcairn Island Sea Scouts, an initiative of the local police officer who was installed by the British government for the first time following the discovery of child abuse in 2004.

In 2011, there were 7 members, both male and female, from a population of approximately 50, and leaders change often as the police officers usually remain on the island for a year, then are rotated.

[5] The Scouts learn valuable skills, as by 2045, there will not be enough young people[6][7] to do the hard manual work like rowing boats out to the supply ship that comes every quarter.

The Scout badge design features an anchor from HMS Bounty and the unique Pitcairn Island wheelbarrow.

The green triangle and blue sky represents the island rising from the ocean.
