It was established in 1967 as the successor to the British Guiana branch of the Scout Association of the United Kingdom.

[1] The first Scout Troop was formed at Queen's College under the leadership of George Manly, a Sergeant Major in the British Regiment stationed there.

Sam Cummings, an instructor at the school, was the first Scout Leader, followed by the Headmaster, Mr Kissoon.

A troop at Kamarang, Upper Mazaruni, catering mainly for Amerindian boys, was run by Canon John Dorman, who had been trained as a scout leader at Gilwell, England.

As well as running the troop he served on Guyana's Scout Executive Committee and was a member of the Leader Training Team.

Scouts were probably at their peak around 1969, when their Diamond Jubilee was celebrated and the 3rd Caribbean Jamboree was held there in August.

These included the late Archbishop of the West Indies, Dr Alan John Knight, who served on the Colony Scout Council for many years and welcomed the Cub Pack from St Gabriel's School, Convent of the Good Shepherd, who held their meetings on the lawn of his residence, Austin House, for many years.

A lack of official trainers in Guyana had Scouters train at Paxdale, Trinidad, for many years.

Brian Fox, seconded from England in the 1950s, spent about three years training leaders and expanding Scouting.

The first Guyanese Cubmaster to be trained at Gilwell was Evelyn St Aubyn, who succeeded Isadora Walton as ACC Cubs around 1938.

On 20 August, Packs held a campfire at Scout Headquarters to raise funds for the Blind Association.

Three yellow cassia trees were planted by CC Lewis, E. Reece, and Elsie Taylor in commemoration of the 40th anniversary.
