British scouts - The Scout Association of Australia and its state branches are each branch corporations of The Scout Association of the United Kingdom and, until 1976, admitted only British Subjects to membership and programs and other nationalities only on special conditions and approval.

Other exile associations were formed in the 1950s. Groups from the Hellenic Scouts and the Maltese Scouts organizations also formed during the 1950s.

“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well.

Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
