The Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) is the national scouting organization of the Philippines in the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The Scout movement was first introduced in the Philippines on 1910 during the American Occupation. It was "granted Recognition as a Member Organisation of the Boy Scouts International Conference...with effect from October 31, 1936" by virtue of certification signed by J. S. Wilson, Olave Baden-Powell, and Daniel Spry.
For most of the late 20th century and into the 21st century, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines is among the largest Scout organizations in the world, currently 4th, in terms of membership count (behind Boy Scouts of America, The Bharat Scouts and Guides of India and the co-ed Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia), largely due to the organization's dependence on the Department of Education.
KID Scouting (Kabataang Iminumulat Diwa) is for boys 4 to 6 years old (in pre-school). They wear a light blue neckerchief.
KAB Scouting (Kabataan Alay sa Bayan) is for boys 6 to 9 years old (grades 1 through 3). They wear a yellow neckerchief.
Boy Scouting is for boys 9 to 12 years old (grades 4 through 6). They wear a green neckerchief.
Senior Scouting is for boys 13 to 19 years old (grades 7 through 12). They wear a red neckerchief.
Rover Scouting is for young men 18 to 26 years old (grades 11–12 and college level). Rovers aged 24 and above are called Rover Peers. They wear a navy blue neckerchief.
