'''The Gambia Scout Association''', the national [[Scouting]] organization of [[Gambia]], was founded in 1921, and became a member of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] in 1984. The coeducational Gambia Scout Association has 18,448 members as of 2008.<ref name="WOSM-TR_05-08">{{cite web |title=Triennial Report 2005-2008 |url=http://scout.org/en/content/download/11615/94838/file/Triennial_Report_EN.pdf |publisher=World Organization of the Scout Movement |accessdate=2008-07-13}}</ref> In 2007, [[David Hafner]] replaced [[Alieu Mamar Njie]] as Chief [[Commissioner]].
Special activities include community service projects such as tree planting. Scouts regularly participate in camping and hiking. [[Music]] is also a very important part of Scouting in the Gambia, but because there is little money for instruments and [[sheet music]], there is a waiting list to get into the Scout band, and they learn all their music by ear.
