National Scout Organisations

161 National Scout Organizations are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. These are listed below. The newest member, Belarus, joined on 5 September 2010.
For the number of members in each country, when Scouting was founded, and when they joined World Scouting, click here.

Only one national Scout organization can be recognised in a country. In some countries the National Scout Organization is a federation composed of more than one Scout association. These are listed here, in black italic, under the National Scout Organization.
Of the 161 National Scout Organizations, 127 belong only to the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), and 34 belong both to WOSM and to The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
Of the 127 National Scout Organizations which belong only to WOSM, 101 are open to boys and girls in some or in all programme sections. 20 are only for boys. All 34 National Scout Organizations which belong both to WOSM and to WAGGGS are open to boys and to girls.
National members are encouraged to notify the World Organization concerning the creation of new web sites, or changes in their address.
If you would like your web site to link back to scout.org and show the membership of your National Scout Organization to WOSM, please use these images.
