The Association of Scouts of Azerbaijan (ASA) was founded in 1997, and became the 150th member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement on August 20, 2000.
Worldwide in nearly all Scout associations, Founders` Day is celebrated on February 22, the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting, and coincidentally also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889).
The Scout Association is the World Organization of the Scout Movement recognized Scouting association in the United Kingdom. Scouting began in 1907 through the efforts of Robert Baden-Powell. The Scout Association was formed under its previous name, The Boy Scout Association, in 1912 by the grant of a royal charter. The Boy Scout Association was renamed as The Scout Association in 1967.
