The Ethiopia Scout Association (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ እስካውት ማህበር, romanized: ye’ītiyop’iya isikawiti mahiberi)^{[needs IPA]} is the national Scouting association of Ethiopia. The Scout movement was first introduced in Ethiopia around 1919,^[1] and had opened a school in Addis Ababa by 1934.^[2] However, the association was forced to end its activities due to the Second Italo-Abyssinian War of 1935-1936. Scouting was revived in Ethiopia in 1948, when Scout activities gained a foothold in the schools of Ethiopia. Ethiopia was recognized as a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1969.
