Our Friendship Continues to Grow

Greater Los Angeles Scouting and The Tokyo Council, the Scout Association of Japan, have been conducting Scout exchange programs since the year 2016 to build friendly relationships.

Our Councils and our members continue to diligently work together to promote activities for the ultimate goal of world peace. This is done through Scout exchanges which will use culture, art, and education, we will strive to further develop and deepen our mutual understanding and cooperation.

We are excited to start another year of this friendship with the Tokyo Council.
