(WCC).
It enjoys consultative status with the

.
History
The CPGS was founded as Conference on Christianity in Guiding and Scouting (CCGS) in 1965. In 2006, it was renamed to Council of Protestants in Guiding and Scouting reflecting a change of policy within the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
