The '''World Federation of Independent Scouts''' (WFIS) was formed in Laubach, Germany, in 1996 by Lawrie Dring, a British Scouter with the independent [[Baden-Powell Scouts|Baden-Powell Scouts Association]] (BPSA). The UK-based BPSA, founded in 1970, is probably the most widespread and largest of the independent Scouting organizations. The BPSA was formed at least partly in reaction to the UK [[The Scout Association|Scout Association]]'s "Advance Party Report" (1966), which resulted in substantial changes to British Scouting, causing some British Scouts and Scouters to seek alternatives they felt were closer to [[Baden-Powell]]'s original program.
