The first boy scout groups were formed in Sweden as early as 1908 and only two years later boy scout groups were formed. In 1922 the Swedish scouts became members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement ; In 1928 the Swedish Girl Scouts followed with membership in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts .
