Karen Marta Inanda "Kari" Aas (6 October 1886 in Farsund-2 January 1978) was a Norwegian teacher and Scout leader, and served as the Chief Scout of the Norsk Speiderpikeforbund from 1927 to 1935.[citation needed]

Aas graduated from teacher's college in Tromsø and found work as a teacher there in 1909. In 1910 she moved to Trondheim.[citation needed]

Aas attended the 1928 World Scout Conference in Budapest as one of the Norwegian delegates, and was a witness to the first casting of B-P's footprint, documented in her memoirs. She designed the World Trefoil emblem of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts that was adopted at the World Conference in 1930, a gold trefoil on a blue background.[1]

Aas wrote several books about Scouting and was the recipient of the Silver Fish Award.[2][unreliable source?]

Aas was a member of the Trondheim school board and executive board Trondhjems konsertforening, the Trondheim concert association.[citation needed]
