Divehi Scouting is coeducational, serving both boys and girls.

The highest rank is the President's Scout. The badge of The Scout Association of Maldives features a fish. The Maldivian economy was entirely dependent on fishing and other marine products for many centuries, and fishing remains the primary occupation.

In 2007, the Scouts celebrated their Golden Jubilee with a jamboree on Hulhumalé.

On January 8, 2008‏, Scout Mohammed Jaisham Ibrahim saved President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom from assassination. [ [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080108/ap_on_re_as/maldives_assassination_attempt] ]
