The Danish Scout Council (DSC, formerly Fællesrådet for Danmarks Drengespejdere, FDD) is the national Scouting federation of Denmark. Scouting was founded in Denmark in 1909 and among the charter members of WOSM in 1920. Denmark has 40,813 Scouts.
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 April 23, 1962.
Member organizations of the federation are:
Affiliated to Det Danske Spejderkorps is the Dansk Spejderkorps Sydslesvig, offering Scouting to the Danish minority of Southern Schleswig in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
