Scouting in French Polynesia is represented by the Conseil du Scoutisme polynésien (Polynesian Scout Council), founded in 1986. The first Scout unit in French Polynesia was founded in 1947. French Polynesia became an Associate Member of the Asia-Pacific Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 2001. Membership in 2001 stood at 793.
The council is an umbrella federation with four members:
Association des Scouts Liahona (ADSL; Scouts Association Liahona; Mormon; 1700 members)
The emblem used by the Association des Scouts Liahona-SDJ features John the Baptist anointing two disciples.
Scouts et Guides de France via the Scouts et Guides de Polynésie Française (SGPF; Scouts and Guides of French Polynesia; Catholic; 295 members ) The emblem used by the SGPF is the emblem used by the Scouts et Guides de France, with "de France" changed to "de Polynésie Française" in orange.
The emblem used by the Scouts de Polynésie française is based on the emblem used by the Scouts de France from 1941. It consisted of a Fleur-de-lis for Boy Scouts, on a cross potent for Catholic Scouts surrounded by a piece of rope tied with a reef knot like in the emblem of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The design of the "Breton" fleur-de-lys is the work of Pierre Joubert. The cross potent is superimposed with local glyphs.
The emblem used by the Guides de Polynésie française features the cross potent for Catholic Guides superimposed with local glyphs, over a map of the main island.
