TheAmerican Indian Scouting Association (AISA) is a joint venture of theBoy Scouts of America (BSA) and theGirl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). The AISA began as a committee of concerned Boy Scout Scoutmasters in 1956 and was sponsored by theBureau of Indian Affairs inLos Alamos, New Mexico.[1]
AISA holds an annual seminar, which began in 1957, is run by a volunteer steering committee and is hosted by a local tribe or Indian community.
