St Helena
St Helena is an Island and British colony in the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles (1,950 km) west of the southwestern coast of Africa. St. Helena has an area of 47 square miles (122 square km), an extreme length southwest-northeast) of 10.5 miles (16 km), and an extreme breadth of 6.5 miles (10 km). The capital and port is Jamestown. The island of Ascension and the island group of Tristan da Cunha are dependencies of St. Helena.
Scouting on Saint Helena and Ascension Island is administered by the United Kingdom Scout Association, due to Saint Helena and Ascension Island's affiliations as Crown Colonies of the United Kingdom. The Helenian and Ascension Scout Oath and Law, as well as other Scouting requirements, are the same as those of the United Kingdom.
Although the program activities are taken from the British system, Saint Helena and Ascension Island Scouting is geared to the local way of life. Training for Wood Badge and leader training are conducted with the help of British and nearby affiliated Scout associations. Saint Helena and Ascension Island Scouts participate in numerous camps and events.
