Responding to Philip Conroy's response to my comments,

groups.

Although the Salvation Army Scout Association is alot smaller than
L'Association des Scouts du Canada, they do exist as another separate
entity.
Both these organizations are represented within Scouts Canada by appointing
their own members to sit as members of the National Council of Scouts Canada
(Salvation Army has one appointed member, and ASC has three).
Although the Salvation Army Scout Association uses most of the Scouts Canada
program, it is not a sponsor in the usual sense.
This is my understanding, anyways...
