The Danish Scout Council

The Danish Scout Council (DSC; Spejderne, formerly Fællesrådet for Danmarks Drengespejdere, FDD) is the national Scouting federation of Denmark. Scouting was founded in Denmark in 1909 and it was among the charter members of WOSM in 1920. Denmark has 70,000 Scouts.

History
In 1920, Det Danske Spejderkorps (DDS) was among the founding members of the Boy Scouts' International Conference. The KFUM-Spejderne i Danmark (KFUM-S) gained an independent title of membership in 1924. In 1961, the World Scout Conference changed the statutes of WOSM requesting only one member per country. Thus, DDS and KFUM-S founded the Fællesrådet for Danmarks Drengespejdere which overtook the WOSM membership on 23 April 1962.

Structure
Member organizations of the federation are:
 * Det Danske Spejderkorps
 * KFUM-Spejderne i Danmark
 * Danske Baptisters Spejderkorps
 * Dansk Spejderkorps Sydslesvig (associate member)
 * Kalaallit Nunaanni Spejderit Kattufiat - Grønlands Spejderkorps (associate member)
 * Føroya Skótaráð (associate member)
 * Føroya Skotasamband
 * KFUM-Skotarnir i Føroyum
 * Skótalið Frelsunarhersins

The associate members of the Danish Scout Council are all part of the council due to common history with Denmark. Kalaallit Nunaanni Spejderit Kattufiat - Grønlands Spejderkorps from Greenland and Føroya Skótaráð from the Faroe Islands are both associated since their countries are officially still parts of the Kingdom of Denmark, while the Dansk Spejderkorps Sydslesvig offers Scouting to the Danish minority of Southern Schleswig in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

DSC consists of 9 representatives, four from Det Danske Spejderkorps, four from KFUM-Spejderne and a Council Commissioner. Other associated representatives comes from Danske Baptisters Spejderkorps, Kalaallit Nunaanni Spejderit Kattufiat - Grønlands Spejderkorps, Meginfelag Føroyer Dreingjaskota and Dansk Spejderkorps Sydslesvig.

Les Scouts Tunisiens (Scouts of Tunisia) have a partnership project with KFUM-Spejderne i Danmark.

A Jamboree took place near Holstebro in July 2012, run jointly by member organizations of the FDD as well as the Joint Committee of Girl Guides in Denmark, namely De grønne pigespejdere, KFUM-Spejderne, Det Danske Spejderkorps, Danske Baptisters Spejderkorps and the Dansk Spejderkorps Sydslesvig. Over 37,000 participants were involved.

Further council Jamborees took place in Sønderborg in 2017 and Hedeland Naturpark in 2022.

KFUM-Spejderne i Danmark and KFUM-Skotarnir i Føroyum
The KFUM-Spejderne i Danmark logo is composed of Scouting elements, a fleur-de-lis and YMCA elements, a triangle shape.

However, the KFUM-Skotarnir i Føroyum logo has a black fleur-de-lis in a particular design.
