Is there any Scout troop in Kunming? Please advice.

Thanks

think i heard scouts is illegal in china as they have to swear to god etc.

There's always the Young Pioneers. Plenty of those.

Scouts are not illegal, there are several troops in Shanghai and Beijing as well, of course, only foreigners are allowed to join. Any idea how to contact any Young Pioneers leader Tommy ?

Thanks

YuriCoach, I apologize that I was being sort of tongue-in-cheek. Young Pioneers is the Communist youth group that all Chinese children are automatically members of.

@Tommy: Are you sure all are automatically members? I didn't know that.

Alien, as far as I know, they must be inducted and "join", but in reality, I think everyone ends up being inducted.

KIA runs a scout group, I am not sure if they have a girls group though.

I thought the girl version of Scouts was The Brownies.

Maybe searching for that may bring more luck.

With the Young Pioneers the 'best' of the class is invited to join first with a special ceremony. After Mayday then all kids are 'joined'. If you don't wear a scarf to school then the kids are in trouble, but don't worry there will be more entrepreneurial kids who sell scarfs outside the school door.
