L' Association des Scouts du Canada is distinctly different from what we know as "Scouts Canada". Canada is the only country in the world where Lord Baden Powell himself (the founder of he scout movement) sanctioned two parallel and distinct scout groups. He reportedly did so in recognition of, and respect for, the strong cultural and linguistic differences between English/Anglicans and French/Catholics. It is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement that provides five challenging programs for young people ages 5-26.

If everyone would take only according to their needs and would leave the surplus to the needy,
then no one would be rich, no one poor, no one in misery
