History

After the cleanup involved 1927 Scouts from Austria, Switzerland and England to a Rhine flood and this selfless use left a good impression in 1931 by Alexander Frick at the suggestion of Prince Franz I of Liechtenstein, a first scout group for boys in Schaan founded. It formed together with the group, founded in Vaduz 1932 the foundation for the Liechtenstein Scouts Corps St. George ( FLPK ), which united the male scouts. Already on the 4th World Scout Jamboree, held in Hungary in 1933, the Boy Scouts Corps was inducted into the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

In parallel to the scout groups for boys emerged from 1932, the first Girl Scouts departments who banded together in the Liechtenstein Girl Scouts Corps Santa Maria. The Girl Scouts Corps was inducted into the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1948.

After the Second World War, the Scouting in Liechtenstein was twice hit by larger exit waves of the older members, so the rover and group leader. Occasion of the first outlet movement in 1945 was the inclusion of Liechtenstein Nazis who had previously touted the connection to the German Empire, which in the scout corps the Princely House closely related met with strong resistance. At a second massive loss occurred in the years from 1968 through the student movement and the emergence of subcultural milieus like the hippies, which migrated older members. This second strong membership loss was offset by the increased cooperation with first the Vorarlberg State Association of Scouts of Austria and later the Scout Movement Switzerland.

Since the early 1980s, the Scouts Corps and the Scouts Corps cooperated getting stronger. 1983, a joint Scout House in Schaan was inaugurated. The cooperation was concluded with the merger to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Liechtenstein.
