The '''Greenland Guide and Scout Association''' ({{langx|kl|Kalaallit Nunaanni Spejderit Kattuffiat}}, {{langx|da|Grønlands Spejderkorps}}) is the youngest of the [[Denmark|Danish]] [[Scouting|Scout]] associations, founded on February 2, 1973. Previously [[Greenland]]ic boys had belonged to one of the Danish Scout associations and girls belonged to one of the corresponding Danish Guide associations. Scouting in Greenland started in 1943, and [[Girl Guides|Guiding]] began in 1950. Greenland Guide and Scout Association, however, is a coeducational organization, and has been recognized as an associate member of the [[Fællesrådet for Danmarks Drengespejdere]] since 1976 and of the [[Pigespejdernes Fællesråd Danmark]] since 1981. Initial grants from the [[Parliament of Greenland]] helped the fledgling organization. Today, the association has about 500 members.

The association focuses upon local conditions, skills and handicrafts, sea and mountaineering activities and subzero camping, as well as nature conservation, of particular importance on the [[Arctic]] island. The limited means of public transport render a camp for all members impracticable, so camps are instead arranged at district level. The membership badge of the association incorporates elements of the [[coat of arms of Greenland]].
