This is a co-operative body for the Swedish Guide and Scout associations. In 1982 the name was changed to be solely The Swedish Guide and Scout Council. All five associations have mixed boys and girls and they have their own leadership training within their own organisations, through the local troop, on a district level, on a regional level and on a national level. Leaders are from almost all age groups. It is usual that a group has leaders of quite different age.
Leaders are both old scouts and parents.
I believe there is a majority of non-parents. There are however merit badges. The scout uniform differs in the five associations. Usually half uniform is worn - shirt and scarf. The Gilwell scarf is the same for the five associations and is worn over the collar.
