Non-aligned Scouting Associations
(82 associations in 20 countries)
In addition to the associations that are members of the six international Scouting youth organizations, I have found 82 Scouting associations/umbrella federations that are not aligned with any international Scouting organization (there are undoubtedly more, which tend mostly to be very small). I have listed unaffiliated single groups on a separate page (note that it is sometimes difficult to tell from the group's name if it is a single group or a true association). Emigré Scouting organizations are listed at the bottom of this page.

Emigré Scouting Organizations
As a result of the displacements of World War II (1939-45), and also of emigrés fleeing communism in eastern Europe, plus simply the desire of emigré communities outside their own country to maintain home-country culture and customs, there are several Scouting programs for emigrés in several countries.
- Harcerstwo Polskie (emigré association in the Czech Republic)
- Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris, 1945 (emigré association with 4500 members in 70 troops in at least 11 countries—Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, US, Venezuela)
- National Organisation of Russian Scouts/NORS, 1909 (emigré group in Australia)
- Ukraïnskii Plast (Ukrainian Scouting) (apparently an emigré association located in Canada)
