The Scout Association) is the largest Scout organisation in the United Kingdom. It's the World Organization of the Scout Movement's recognised member for the United Kingdom.
Following the start of Scouts in 1907, The Scout Association was formed in 1910 and incorporated in 1912 by a royal charter under its previous name of The Boy Scouts Association.
The Association is divided into national groupings for England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. While the Association in England is managed directly by the UK Headquarters, each of the other nations has its own Scout Association council and administration.
A First World War Roll of Honour lists the names of former Scouts and Scout Leaders who were killed during the First World War (1914 – 1918). The names have been compiled from official information gathered at and shortly after the War and from information supplied by several Scout historians.
Approximately 1800 names with biographical details are listed on the Scout Association Roll of Honour.
