- The Baden-Powell Scouts' Association of Canada (BPSAC) is part of the parent Association BPSA (UK) who broke away from conventional scouting after the advance party changes of the late 1960's. Since then, some 12 million Scouts in 85 Associations remain independent from WOSM in different World Movements. The BPSAC is a member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts. Meaghan became both the first youth member registered in Canada but also the first female youth member to join. The Association practices traditional style scouting methods enhanced with current social values and camping technologies, but remain loyal to the traditions and original style uniforms.
