History
Originally, there was only a single section for all members of the Scouting (Scouts) and Guiding (Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) Movements. Typically, these were for 11–17 year olds, although the exact ages varied between the countries and organisations. Polish Boy Scouts fighting in the Warsaw Uprising Boy Scouts originally denoted the organization that developed and rapidly grew up during 1908 in the wake of the publication by Lord Robert Baden-Powell of his book Scouting for Boys. ...
A Girl Guide is a girl, usually 11 to 17 years of age, participating in the worldwide Scouting movement. ...
Within the first twenty-five years of Scouting its founder, Robert Baden-Powell, saw that there was a demand to provide the Scouting programme for young people both above and below the core age range. For the musician, see Baden Powell de Aquino. ...
The first section to have a separate programme to the Scouts were the Wolf Cubs. This development allowed the younger brothers of Scouts to participate in similar activities. Later on, a senior section known as Rover Scouts was created. This was mirrored by similar sections being created for the Guide Movement - the Brownie Guides (equivalent to the Wolf Cubs) and Ranger Guides (the senior section).

A Ranger or Ranger Guide is a member of a section of some Guiding organisations who is in her later teens or early twenties. ...
In addition to the expansion of the age ranges, new programmes which ran parallel to the core Scout method were developed. For example, the Sea Scouts and Air Scouts. Another parallel programme is Extension Scouting, which aims to bring Scouting to young people with special needs. The Scout method is the principal method by which all Scouting organizations operate their units. ...

Air Scouts are members of the international Scouting movement, with a particular emphasis on flying-based activities. ...

Over time, the various Scouting and Guiding organisations around the world have continued to adapt their programmes to meet the requirements of the society they function in. However, while the age ranges and names vary, the core principles of the Scout or Guide Method are applied throughout.
