The biggest difference between the two association is the language spoken and the religion behind it. Though [[Scouts Canada]] have French speaking members, they mainly take care of the English speaking members and the ASC takes care of the French speaking one.
The biggest difference between the two association is the language spoken and the religion behind it. Though [[Scouts Canada]] have French speaking members, they mainly take care of the English speaking members and the ASC takes care of the French speaking one.
This was desired by Baden-Powell himself, who signed an agreement called '''Ensemble-Together''' with the two Canadian national scout association in 1935.
The reason for this was simple. At the time, the Association des Scouts du Canada was exclusively offer its services to French-speaking Catholics, while Scouts Canada should focus on the english-speaking and Protestant.
Today, the two National Scout Organizations are always independent: Boards are independent and their staff are completely separate from each other. The clients of both association have evolved since that time, they are now multicultural. The service offering and philosophy both NSOs have also evolved over time, the ASC is being permanently removed the aspect of "military" from scouting and favoring development projects oriented full development of the individual.

== Uniforms ==
Uniforms are not the same than Scouts Canada. Except for beaver, which have a yellow t-shirt, all uniforms consist of a colored shirt (the color depending on the age of the youth), a beige-khaki pant, a neckerchief and a leather belt. The color of the shirt is green for the 9-11 years old, blue for the 12-14 years old, red for the 15-18 years old and pale gray for the 18-21 years old. For the scout leaders, they wear the same color as the youth they are with. Since both girls and boys wear the same uniform, the only way to know which program they are under is by looking at their badges, which are quite different.
