  • Svenska Missionskyrkans Ungdom Scout (SMU), commonly known as "SMU Scout" is the Guide and Scout organization of the Mission Covenant Youth of Sweden and was Sweden's second biggest Scouting organization with 18,500 members. Since 2008 it included two former member organizations of KFUK-KFUMs Scoutförbund:
