Scouting in Andorra

name=Scouts d'Andorra|country=Andorra|

Andorra is one of only six of the world's independent countries that do not have Scouting. The population is sufficiently large to sustain Scouting, but the Scout association of the tiny enclave in the Pyrenees, "Scouts d'Andorra", has been dormant since the 1980s and at present there is no Scouting movement. At least one group was known to be sponsored by Collège Mare Janer. [ [http://www.esglesiacatolica.ad/fr/node/170 Collège Mare Janer | Església Catòlica d'Andorra ] ]

The tiny principality issued Scout Centenary stamps for the 2007 celebration, through both French and Spanish posts.

The Scout motto in Catalan is "Sempre a punt".

The Minyons Escoltes i Guies de Catalunya, a Catalan Scouting organization, undertook a study on the possibilities for Scout groups in Andorra in summer 2007.
