An original neckerchief of a village scout, dated prior to the Thammasat University Massacre
Village Scouts (Thai: ลูกเสือชาวบ้าน, RTGS: Luksuea Chaoban) is the common name of a right-wing, ultranationalist social movement[1] and paramilitary militia of volunteers from rural Thailand. It is a countrywide organization that the King and Queen of Thailand have sponsored since 1972 in order to promote national unity.[2] It was first founded by the Thai Border Patrol Police (BPP) under the aegis of the Ministry of Interior.[3]
