New Zealand has 18,007 Scouts (as of mid 2008) served by Scouting New Zealand. Scouting was introduced to New Zealand in 1908 by Col David Cossgrove and the island nation became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1953.
Scouting New Zealand is very internationally minded, participating in many Asia-Pacific Region and World Scout camps and Jamborees.
There is a strong emphasis on conservation of natural resources. Scouts frequently help in natural disasters such as sand bagging rivers during flooding.
