Scout Association of Malta

In 1966, the Association became an independent body and on October 28, 1966 was granted recognition as a Member-Organisation of the Boy Scouts World Conference and registered as a full member of the Boy Scouts World Bureau, which later became known as the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). In 1976, the name of the Association was restyled to read ‘The Malta Scouts Association’. By a further amendment on 31 October 1978, in order to comply with the provisions of Act XXII of 1978, the name of the Association was established as ‘The Scout Association’. In 1994 the Constitution was reviewed and the name of the Association became ‘The Scout Association of Malta’.

To mark the 100th Anniversary of the Scout Association of Malta, a commemorative medal was minted in 2008 to be presented to past and present members of the Association who were over 18 years of age. All uniformed leaders, Rovers and venture Scouts, members of the Council, both at Island and Group level, Emeritus Scouter, Fellowship members and any past members of the Association [living locally or abroad] were entitled to the medals.
