Scouting in Rwanda began in 1940. In the following years a number of different associations developed. In 1966, these formed a joint body, the Association des Scouts du Rwanda, which was admitted to WOSM in 1975.
In 2007, the ASR will host the African Scout Conference.
The ASR is supported by a number of European and American Scout associations, including the German Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg, the Belgian Vlaams Verbond van Katholieke Scouts en Meisjesgidsen, the Association des Scouts du Canada and the Boy Scouts of America.
The ASR is divided in four branches:
- Louveteaux - Cub Scouts (ages 8 to 12)
- Eclaireurs Juniors - Junior Scouts (ages 13 to 15)
- Eclaireurs Seniors - Senior Scouts (ages 16 to 18)
- Routiers - Rover Scouts (ages 19 to 25)
