Scouting in Nova Scotia has a long history, from the 1900s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.
Nova Scotia is served by the Nova Scotia Council of Scouts Canada. Among Nova Scotia's varied Scouting groups are Scouts (11-14), Cubs (8-10), Beavers (5-7) and Venturers (14-17).
Canada has several associations which trace their roots to the Baden-Powell Scouts in the United Kingdom. They form the Canadian Federation of Independent Scouting, which is a member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts. Members of the federation include BPSA - Nova Scotia.
The 4th Halifax Highland Scout Troop was the largest Scout troop in Nova Scotia for several decades. Created in 1922 by members of the Halifax North British Society, the organization functioned as part of Scouts Canada until 2001, when it broke away to operate as an independent organization under the name The Scots Highland Company, a Scouts-like organization for male youths. It disbanded in 2007.

Guides are served by the Nova Scotia Council of Girl Guides of Canada - Guides du Canada.
Guiding in Nova Scotia started in 1911 when the first company was organized in Halifax by Mary Ritchie. Over the next years various companies were formed. In 1922 the Nova Scotia Council was incorporated. [1]
