Asociación de Scouts de Perú

What Asociación de Scouts de Perú does

Asociación de Scouts del Perú is a Peruvian non-profit youth education organization founded on May 25, 1911 by educator Juan Luis Rospigliosi y Gómez Sánchez. It is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM/OMMS) and operates a progressive self-education program organized into four age-based branches: Lobatos (7–11), Scouts (11–15), Caminantes (15–18), and Rovers (18–21), plus an adult volunteer cadre (Dirigentes). The organization is headquartered at Av. Arequipa 5130, Miraflores, Lima, and is reported to serve thousands of members across 178 localities nationwide, including Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Iquitos, Piura, and Pucallpa. Governance is volunteer-led through a Consejo Directivo Nacional (National Council) and a Jefatura Scout Nacional (National Scout Leadership), with a paid administrative core of 11–50 staff supporting operations.

The association operates an integrated set of supporting programs: an online annual registration system (Sistema de Registro Anual/SRA), a digital library (Biblioteca Scout) containing 129+ educational resources and InfoScout publications, an online learning platform (Campus Scout) hosting courses such as Gestión de Actividades Seguras and A Salvo del Peligro, a Wood Badge (Insignia de Madera) accreditation track for adult volunteers, and a Safe From Harm child-safety program aligned with WOSM global standards. A physical retail outlet, Tienda Scout, sells uniforms and camping equipment at the Miraflores headquarters. Technology infrastructure is web-based with no proprietary technology disclosed — membership management, content delivery, and learning all run on standard online systems.

Financially, the organization is a private non-profit association (Asociación civil sin fines de lucro, RUC: 20100918618). Revenue is generated through annual membership registration fees (Cuota de Registro Anual), tiered individual and corporate donations via the Brigada Flor de Lis program (Bronze S/300, Silver S/400, Gold S/500, Diamond S/700), and merchandise sales. A banking partnership with Interbank supports donation collection. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
