Scouting and Guiding in the Pitcairn Islands is served by Pitcairn Island Sea Scouts, an initiative of the local police officer who was installed by the British government for the first time following the discovery of child abuse in 2004. Scouting was introduced to Pitcairn Island in 2011 by Sergeant Russell Torr of the Pitcairn Island Police Force. The British government has an agreement with the government of New Zealand to provide police officers to this overseas territory of the United Kingdom.
