Welcome to Air Scout Malaysia Community Website. Air Scouting is a branch of Scouting, not a separate organisation. It is based on the same fundamental Scouting Aims & Methods. Air Scouts follow the core balanced programme for their section but then add a aeronautical twist to the programme and activities. Many Troops and Explorer Units meet more than once a week in the period and the additional meetings are used to develop aeronautical skills and airmanship training. It is not training for an Air Force career, although Air Scout training can be very useful for young people who are so interested.
Air
Scouts start with the Scout section as part of a Air Scout Group, or as
a Air Scout Patrol in a "standard" Group. Air Scouts can be found in
Units directly linked through partnership agreements to Air Scout
Groups. Air Scout Group follow the same programme as all other with
the likelihood of some air based activities being provided by the Scout
section.
The Aim and Method of Scout Association
The
Aim of The Scout Association is to promote the development of young
people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and
spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as
members of their local, national and international communities. The
Method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an
enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the
Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult Leadership.
The Balanced Programme for Air Scouts
The
fundamentals of the balanced programme offered are the same for all
Scouts. Air Scouts simply take a more aeronautical emphasis in many
aspects of the programme. The importance of the outdoors in the Scout
programme is further strengthened in Air Scouts. In many troops a
variety of air borne activities are offered and in most at least two
activities are followed by the members. The exact nature of the
activities on offer depends on the qualifications of the leadership
team, and the equipment available.

 In the 1930's Scout Troops near to airfields and gliding clubs started to include air activities in their programmes and an 'Air Patrols' pamphlet was produced by HQ's. The Air Scout Branch came into being in January 1941, during the Second World War and provided for air- minded youngsters too young for the ATC where the minimum age was 16 at the time. The response was immediate and enthusiastic, with many demands for literature and advice as Troops and Patrols were formed in many parts of the country. Recruitment was little affected by uniform restrictions imposed by clothes rationing and it was possible to introduce a distinctive uniform in which, for the first time, a beret replaced the traditional Scout hat. Air Scouting reached its numerical peak in 1944. With the end of the War in the following year, number began to fall, but there was no lack of enthusiasm in those who stayed on. In October 1950, as a result of successful negotiations with the Air Ministry, a scheme was introduced for Air Scout Troop to be granted Air Ministry recognition provided certain conditions were met. Members of recognised Troops were permitted to wear a special badge and to have the advantage of certain much needed facilities including opportunities for flying experience in service aircraft for Air Scouts who had reached the required standard of training. To begin with, few Troops were strong enough to qualify for recognition but the scheme itself, gave the incentive, so that by 1955, nearly 40 Troops were given Air Ministry recognition. In that year, the Assistant Chief of Staff at the Air Ministry, Air Vice Marshal J.G.W. Weston, accepted appointment as Headquarters Commissioner for Air Scouts. Air Scouts by many of these local clubs.
