Scouting in the Federated States of Micronesia is presently in a state of development and growth. Scouting has existed in the islands since at least the 1970s, and may have been developed as early as the 1950s.
Like the other former Trust Territories of the Pacific, Boy Scouting in Micronesia is presently developing as part of the Aloha Council Pacific Basin District.
