The Dominican Boy Scout association is celebrating its hundredth anniversary since the first group was set up in San Pedro de Macoris. In 1992, they allowed the first girls’ patrol in a camp in Santiago de los Caballeros.
The president of the National Council for the Dominican Scout Association, Fabiola Reyes, said that of the almost 3,000 members of the movement, around 50% are now girls.
