Scouting andGuiding was introduced toCambodia in the 1930s, when several independent organizations emerged. Under the Japanese occupation duringWorld War II all Scouting and Guiding activities were banned. Scouting and Guiding was readmitted from 1945 to 1964, when it was replaced by theJeunesse Socialiste Royale Khmer, asocialist youth movement. An effort to reestablish Scouting in 1972 lasted only until 1975, when it was banned again by theKhmer Rouge.
After 1990, several Scouting organizations were founded. They were merged in the coeducationalNational Association of Cambodian Scouts and the girls-onlyGirl Guides Association of Cambodia.
