Lietuvos skautų sąjunga (LSS, Scout Association of Lithuania) is one of Lithuania's Scouting organizations. The organization serves about 1,300 members as of 2008.

History

[edit]

LSS claims to be the oldest Scouting organization in Lithuania. Its predecessor was established in 1930, although there are some opinions that it happened much earlier, in 1918, but that was only the embryo phase.^{[citation needed]}

In 1918, Petras Jurgėlas-Jurgelevicius [lt] established the first Scout troop in Lithuania. In 1922, the first general assembly united the Lithuanian Scout Movement into the first Scout Association of Lithuania (SAL). This date could be argued as the year of establishment of Scout Association of Lithuania, for in 1930 when the law of Lithuanian Scouting Association (LSA) became effective all other organizations were united under the new name.

After Soviet Union occupied Lithuania, the Scout Association of Lithuania was suspended, but rehabilitated in 1988 in Vilnius.
