Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (since 1996), International Scout and Guide Fellowship, International Catholic Conference of Scouting, International Catholic Conference of Guiding. These memberships have allowed ZHP to claim the greatest legitimacy, successfully dominating the other organisations of Polish Scouting, such as ZHR and ZHP pgK, the organisation which brings together Polish Scouts in the international Emigree community, with members in Australia, Argentina, Belarus, Canada, France, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Sweden, the United States, Ukraine, among other countries with Polish residents in the diaspora and as such the organization is affiliated to the International Link of Orthodox Christian Scouts. ZHP PGK, also known as ZHP Świat, has adopted policies similar to those of the Boy Scouts of America, where agnostics and atheists are not allowed to be instructors. Structure and age groups Age groups There are four age groups, although the age limits are not strictly adhered to: zuchy (Cub Scouts and Brownies) – 6–10 years harcerze and harcerki (Scouts and Guides) – 10–13 years harcerze starsi and harcerki starsze (Venture Scouts and Venture Guides) – 13–16 years wędrownicy and wędrowniczki (Rovers and Rangers) – 16–21 years Structure The basic unit of ZHP is a drużyna (troop), consisting of approximately 30 boys or girls. Each drużyna is formed by several units named zastęp (patrol) consisting of about seven people. A few troops (especially working at the same school or housing estate) can be connected in one szczep (group). Several groups or/and troops from a specified area (borough, village, town) form a hufiec (district) which in turn is a part of one of the regions called chorągiew (literally banner). For example, a particular Scout can be a member of zastęp starszoharcerski Pantery (patrol of senior Scouts The Panthers) 156 Warszawska Drużyna Harcerzy Dżungla (156th Warsaw Troop of Boy Scouts Jungle) Szczep 156 Warszawskich Drużyn Harcerskich i Zuchowych (Group of 156th Warsaw Troops of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides and Cub Scouts) Hufiec ZHP Warszawa-Mokotów (Warsaw-Mokotów District) Chorągiew Stołeczna ZHP (Warsaw (Capital) Region of ZHP) See also Scouting and Guiding in Poland Notes External links Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego, the Polish national Scouting organisation Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego pgK (ZHP abroad) World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts member organizations World Organization of the Scout Movement member organizations Youth organisations based in Poland Youth organizations established in 1918 Scouting and Guiding in Poland 1918 establishments in Poland
