[edit] History

Guiding in Ukraine started in 1911 as part of Plast. However, in the 1920s, Scouting and Guiding was banned and the groups were incorporated in the Pioneer Movement.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Guiding was reintroduced to Ukraine in 1992. With support by the Norwegian Speidernes Fellesorganisasjon, a national association was formed on November 25, 1995. It became an associate member of WAGGGS in 1999.

The association is divided in three age groups:

  • Swallows (ages 7 to 11)
  • Guides (ages 11 to 16)
