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.
