International Boy Scouts of the Canal Zone
- International Boy Scouts of the Canal Zone
The Boy Scouts of the Panama Canal Zone were founded in 1947, recognized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1955, and had 970 members in 1957. They existed at least through the 1960s, directly registered to the World Scout Bureau.
In 1937 J. S. Wilson met with Gunnar Berg and Ray Wyland of the Boy Scouts of America at Balboa, Panama, on his way to Bogotá, for a conference about mixed-race Scouts in the Panama Canal Zone, who claimed British and not Panamanian nationality. It was agreed that they should be taken under the wing of the Canal Zone Council of the Boy Scouts of America, but in 1947 they were transferred directly under the International Bureau as the International Boy Scouts of the Canal Zone.
