Age groups in Scouting and Guiding
Remove ads

Some Scout and Guide organizations in the Scout Movement and Girl Guides, in addition to Scouts, operate other programs for other age groups. Some Scout organizations separate older scout (e.g. senior scouts, Venture Scouts, Explorer Scouts), often specializing in or undertaking more adventurous activities such as Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, high adventure, mounted Scouts and cyclist Scouts.

History

Summarize
Perspective

The Scout Movement is a pluralist movement and has always consisted of many Scout organizations. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the Scout Movement were widely established in 1908, before central or national Scout organizations were formed. Scouts is for 11–17 year olds. Many early Scout Troops were connected with or formed a variety of associated organizations for younger boys and girls. Some older youths maintained connection with their former Scout troops.

In 1910, Robert Baden-Powell founded The Boy Scouts Association and the separate Girl Guides organization. In 1916, The Boy Scouts Association launched its Wolf Cubs program for 8- to 10-year-old boys. Baden-Powell did not want Wolf Cubs to be junior scouts and wanted them to be distinct in identity and program from Boy Scouts in order to not give the Scouts a juvenile image. The Boy Scouts Association formed its Rovers program in 1918 for those too old to be Scouts and also formed its Guild of Old Scouts. Some other Scout organizations adopted and operated these or similar programs in connection with their Scouts. The Girl Guides Association formed Brownie Guides for younger girls and Ranger Guides for older girls.

Most of these other age programs use the core principles of the Scout Method[citation needed] but participants in programs for younger ages do not make the Scout Promise.
