The Scout Association of Hong Kong is the overall Scouting organization in Hong Kong. After the first scouting initiatives in 1909, the Hong Kong branch of The Boy Scout Association of the United Kingdom was started in 1914 by registering the St. Joseph's College Scout Group, and was formally established in July 1915. The Hong Kong branch became an autonomous association and the 111th member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1977. In 2008, the association had 99,591 uniformed members, with approximately 2700 scout groups in the sections Grasshopper, Cubs, Scouts, Venture and Rover Scouts, making it the largest uniformed youth organisation in Hong Kong. The headquarters at the Hong Kong Scout Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon host the administration, headed by the Hong Kong Chief Commissioner. The association runs campsites, including Gilwell Campsite, Tai Tam Scout Centre and Tung Tsz Scout Centre, as well as hostels and Scout Activity Centres. It annually organises the traditional Scout Rally, providing scout competitions and activities. For specific anniversaries, themed Scout Jamborees have been organised
