The Asociación Nacional de Scouts de Panamá is a Panamanian youth scouting organization founded in 1924 and accepted into the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) that same year. Although WOSM recognition was withdrawn in 1936, Panama regained membership in 1950. Panamanian Scouting is coeducational. In 2010, the organization had 1,775 Scouts.

Scouts are involved in community service projects such as disaster relief, conservation of natural resources, and collection of toys and games for impoverished children.
