Both the modern stylized emblem and this historic emblem feature the head of a tiger. Officially it symbolizes the "bravery of Korean Scouts". The Korean Peninsula was once within the tiger's historic range; this may also be an allusion to Korea's status as one of the Four Asian Tigers.

The Korea Scout Association (Korean: 한국스카우트연맹) is the national Scouting association of South Korea.
Scouting was founded in Korea in 1922 while under Japanese rule, and sent representatives to the first Far East Scouting competition in Beijing in 1924. However, it was banned by the occupation authorities from 1937 until August 15, 1945.[1] It existed in all areas of the Korean peninsula prior to the Korean War in 1950. World Organization of the Scout Movement recognition came in 1953. The total membership in 2011 was 201,455 registered Scouts.[2]
Dr. Kim Yong-woo, the first Tiger Scout and former Minister of National Defense was awarded the Bronze Wolf Award, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting, in 1975.
