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.

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. | |||
