National Scout & Guide Fellowship of Australia

The International Scout and Guide Fellowship has 56 full member countries and 5 associate members. Each of these countries is represented by a 'National Scout and Guide Fellowship'. Australia's Fellowship is the National Scout and Guide Fellowship of Australia and was accepted as a full member in 1961.

​

The Aims of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship are to encourage its members ...
