Les Scouts Tunisiens (in Template:Lang-ar; The Tunisian Scouts) is the national Scouting organization of Tunisia. It was founded in 1934, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1957 and is also a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The coeducational Scouts Tunisiens has about 32,000 members (24,080 Scouts and 8,582 Guides). The Girl Guides are an integral but independent section of Les Scouts Tunisiens.

The 2005 World Scout Conference was held in Hammamet.
Les Scouts Tunisiens is known for its citizenship training through community service. Tunisian Scouting is an independent youth movement, under the guardianship of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. It receives moral support as well as financial support and equipment. They also are able to use public youth centers for their activities.
