'''Hartmut Keyler''' (29 June 1936 – 4 October 2025<!--year probably wrong in source, does not fit the Scouting career: Keyler made his promise as "Pfadfinder" in 1949, which required 14 years of age-->) was a German architect who served as a member of the World Scout Committee, as well as a member of the European Scout Committee.
== Early life and professional career == Keyler was born in Esslingen am Neckar, and attended school in Esslingen, Korntal and Munich. From 1953 to 1955 he was apprenticed as a carpenter. Beginning in 1955, Keyler studied architecture at the Staatsbauschule München (today: Munich University of Applied Sciences). Since 1959, he worked as freelance architect in Munich.<ref name="fachtagung">{{Cite web | url=http://www.pfadfinder-fachtagung.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=226&Itemid=758 |title = Fachtagung Pfadfinden}}</ref>
Keyler became a member of Bund Deutscher Architekten and Deutscher Werkbund in 1971. In 1994, he was appointed to the Bayerische Akademie Ländlicher Raum.<ref name="fachtagung" />
== Scouting == Being a Scout in the Christliche Pfadfinderschaft Deutschlands and the Verband Christlicher Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder since 1949, Keyler served twice in the European Scout Committee (1968–1972 and 1977–1980) as well as in the World Scout Committee (1971–1975 and 1985–1993). In 1969, he was among the founders of the Deutschsprachige Konferenz der Pfadfinderverbände. He was a member of the World honours and awards committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement since 2005.<ref name="fachtagung" />
