(N/A = Information Not Available)

It is, perhaps, interesting to note that currently there are about 25 million Scouts and Guides in 117 countries and that since 1907, when Scouting commenced, there have been 250 million youth members in the Scouting and Guiding movement. Berowra has played a small part in that.
