The Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) is the national scouting association of the Philippines in the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The Scout movement was first introduced in the Philippines on 1910 during the American Colonial Rule. It was “granted Recognition as a Member Organisation of the Boy Scouts International Conference…with effect from October 31, 1936” by virtue of certification signed by J. S. Wilson, Olave Baden-Powell, and Daniel Spry.

For most of the late 20th century and into the 21st century, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines is among the largest Scout organizations in the world, currently 4th, in terms of membership count (behind Boy Scouts of America, The Bharat Scouts and Guides of India and the co-ed Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia), largely due to the organization’s dependence on the Department of Education.
