Scouting and Guiding in Nova Scotia
Several scout associations in Canada trace their roots to the
The 4th Halifax Highland Scouts, formed in 1922 by The Scots Society (then the North British Society of Halifax), was the largest Scout group in Nova Scotia for several decades. The society's scouts became known as "The Scots Highland Scouts". The society registered its scouts with The Boy Scouts Association's Canadian General Council, now named Scouts Canada but in 2001, it ceased registration and continued its scouts independently under the name The Scots Highland Company, for male youths, until 2007, after which the society re-organized it as The Scots Highland Company 848, Royal Canadian Army Cadets.
