The Cyprus Turkish Scouting and Guiding Federation (Turkish: Kıbrıs Türk İzcilik Federasyonu) is a Scouting federation active in the de facto independent Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.[2]

The federation was established in August 2023 within the Youth Department of Northern Cyprus, part of the Deputy Prime Ministry and Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Environment.[2] It aims to develop scouting in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, enable scouting activities to be carried out in accordance with international scouting rules, bring together the associations dealing with scouting across the country under one roof and ensure unity.[3]

The Scouting and Guiding Federation of Turkey played a role in the establishing of the Cyprus Turkish Scouting and Guiding Federation and there is a strong and collaborative relationship between the federations.[1] The Turkish and Turkish Cypriot federations have organised joint camps and leadership trainings.[4][5]
