There are seven international associations for Scouts and Guides. Each international association provides guidance and support for their member organizations.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) has over 32 million members as of December 2010. There are 161 countries with recognized national Scout organizations (NSO), 29 countries with NSOs not recognized by WOSM and 6 countries without Scouting.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has over 10 million members as of December 2010 in 145 countries.

Both WOSM and WAGGGS recognize only one NSO per country. In most countries these are separate NSOs, but in 57 countries one NSO is recognized by both WOSM and WAGGGS. For membership numbers by country, see the related links.

The World Federation of Independent Scouts, the Federation of European Scouting, the Order of World Scouts, the Confederation of European Scouts and the World Order of Independent Scouts are associations with about 600,00 total members. There are about 80 NSOs that are not affiliated with an association with about 100,000 members.

As of 2011 there are 41 million Scouts and Guides in 216 countries. Most national Scout or Guide organizations are a member of an international association.

  • World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM)- 31 million
  • World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)- 10 million
  • Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme
  • Order of World Scouts
  • International Union of Guides and Scouts of Europe- 65,000
  • World Federation of Independent Scouts- 30,000
  • World ORder of Independent Scouts- 15,000

The largest organizations are Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia with 17 million (Scouting is compulsary in Indonesia) and the Boy Scouts of America with 4 million members (not including the non-Scouting subsidiary Learning for Life/Exploring).

WOSM started as boy only but 143 out of 161 members organizations are now coeducational (91%). Most of the other associations are coeducational.

There are no totals by age group or gender.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) only allows girls to be WAGGGS members. Any WAGGGS member organization or federation which allows boys as members has a dual membership in WAGGGS and WOSM and the girls are members of WAGGGS and the boys are members of WOSM.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement is a federation of more than 160 recognized national Scout organizations. There were over 32 million registered scouts in 2010. Due to the inability of many nations to complete an accurate census, the exact amount is unknown.
