- Source: List of World Organization of the Scout Movement members
The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM ) is the largest international scout organization and was established in 1922. It has 176 members. These members are national scout organizations that founded WOSM or have subsequently been recognised by WOSM, which collectively have around 43 million participants.
Table of members
WOSM recognizes only one Scout organization per country. Some countries have several organizations combined as a federation, with different component groups divided on the basis of religion (e.g., France and Denmark), ethnic identification (e.g., Israel), or language (e.g., Belgium). Canada is the only country to have two distinct recognized associations, which are divided by language. About 30 WOSM members are also members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, mostly from Europe and Arab countries.
