Membership: The membership which is shown in these countries represents only the members (youth and adults) of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), which in most countries includes boys and girls. In some countries - mostly in Europe - the national organization is larger than indicated here because it includes girls who are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

Joined WOSM: The date is the most recent year that the National Scout Organization joined the World Organization of the Scout Movement. (Organizations in some countries were World Scouting members in earlier years than shown here, but Scouting was disbanded for a period of time.)

Scouting founded: This information is taken from published sources. Note that countries use different standards to define "founded". It may mean the year the first Scout group was formed, or when the national organzation was formed, or chartered, etc.
Scouting was founded on 1 August 1907, the opening of Robert Baden-Powell's experimental camp on Brownsea Island in England.
