Mauritius is a small archepeligo country in the Indian Ocean. It is perhaps best know as one of the countries which could easily disappear if global warming raises sea level. Mauritius was dominated over time by various Arab and European powers. During the Napoleonic war, the British seized contolled and ruled until independendence (1967). Mauritious has become a popular tourist attraction. We have very limited information about youth groups in Mauritius. The only group we know of at this time is the Scouts. We know the Scouts were active in the 1970s. The Mauritius Scout here was photographed about 1977riding a tortoise (figure 1). The Scout wears a beret, light colored shirt (possibly light yellow), and green short pants. We have no current information about Mauritius Scouting, either the movement as a whole or the uniform. Mauritious is a lsargely Muslem country. We are unsure in particular how the rising strength of Islamic Fundamentalism is affecting Mauritius in general and the Scouting movement is particular.
