The Scout Association is incorporated throughout the British Empire by royal charter.
The Scout Association is a council that registers local Scout groups, which "are autonomous charities affiliated to The Scout Association" and they operate programmes with the largest enrolment of organisations in the Scout Movement in the United Kingdom.

It is a founding member organisation of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
