Scouting in Canada's provinces and territories

The Scout and Guide movement in Canada is served by several organizations with various supernational alignments.

WOSM member associations

In Canada, two Scouting associations cooperate for membership in the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM):

• Association des Scouts du Canada
• Scouts Canada

Canada is the only country that has more than one WOSM member association without a national federation. Scouts Canada and Association des Scouts du Canada send a joint delegation to meetings of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. This is coordinated through the Committee on Cooperation.

Affiliated to Scouts Canada are the Salvation Army Life Saving Scouts.

WAGGGS member association

The Guiding association within the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is Girl Guides of Canada.

UIGSE member associations

There is one association affiliated to the UIGSE, with a single group in Toronto:

• Federation of North-American Explorers

WFIS member associations

Canada has several associations which trace their roots to the Baden-Powell Scouts in the United Kingdom. Some of them are members of the World Federation of Independent Scouts.

• BPSA — British Columbia
• BPSA — New Brunswick
• BPSA — Ontario

The Traditional Explorers Association Council of Ontario (also known as "BPSC Canada") is no longer a member of the WFIS.

Independent associations

There are also a number of independent Scouting associations active in Canada. Among them are

• Association des aventuriers de Baden-Powell — Adventurers Association of Baden-Powell
• Plast - Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada
• Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego Canada (Polish Scouting Association in Canada Inc.), a Polish émigré organization, not connected to Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego in Poland.
• ZHR Polish Scouts of Canada
