Guidisme et Scoutisme en Belgique/Gidsen- en Scoutsbeweging in België (GSB, The Guides and Scouts Movement of Belgium) is the national Guiding and Scouting federation in Belgium. Scouting in Belgium started in 1911, and Guiding followed in 1915. The Belgian Scouts were among the charter members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1922, and the Guides were one of the founding members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 1928. The federation counts 88,237 Scouts (as of 2002) and 57,966 Guides (as of 2003).
