The Boy's Scout Movement started in England in 1907 and it reached this country in 1910 with only 30 members to begin with it. It was know as Persekutuan Budak-Budak Pengakap Tanah Melayu (The Boy's Scouts Association of the Malay State) and it was administered directly from Great Britain. When Malaysian was formed this association became known as the Federation of Boys' Scouts Malaysia comprising of Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia. When Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965, the Singapore Association also left. The Federation was then registered under Act of Parliament No: 38 of 1968 with amendments under Act No: 143 of 1974.
