OK I'm wrong. Yet the UK Scout Association does not have Rover Crews and it is
the UK Scout Association which is recogonised by the World Scout Organisation
(or whatever it is) as the only Scouting body in the UK. Baden-Powell Scouts
are a splinter group formed in the 1960's. I have never met a member of the 
B-P Scouts nor do I have any idea as to how big they are. The first I heard
of the F.S.E. was when I read their promise in FAQ 2. Again I have never
met a member of the FSE.
Since I have never heard of where B-P Scouts meet in my district, yet I've
heard of ATC, Boys Brigade, NTC, Army Cadets, Judo Clubs etc. Then I'll
assume that B-P Scout membership is very small.
