 Within the first twenty-five years of Scouting its founder, [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]], saw that there was a demand to provide the Scouting programme for young people both above and below the core age range.
-The first section to have a separate programme to the '''Scouts''' were the [[Wolf Cubs]]. This development allowed the younger brothers of Scouts to participate in similar activities. Later on, a senior section known as [[Rover Scouts]] was created. This was mirrored by similar sections being created for the Guide Movement - the [[Brownie Guide]]s (equivalent to the Wolf Cubs) and [[Ranger (Girl Guide)|Ranger Guides]] (the senior section).

 In addition to the expansion of the age ranges, new programmes which ran parallel to the core [[Scout method]] were developed. For example, the [[Sea Scouts]] and [[Air Scouts]]. Another parallel programme is [[Extension Scouting]], which aims to bring Scouting to young people with special needs.
