After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the organization Русский Скаут went into exile, and continued in many countries where fleeing White Russian émigrés settled, establishing groups in France, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Belgium, Argentina, Chile, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, United States and, for a short time also, in the Netherlands and Surinam.

[1][2] A much larger mass of Russian Scouts moved through Vladivostok to the east into Manchuria and south into China and Hong Kong.

[7] After World War II Russian Scout and Guide troops were founded in Displaced Persons camps in i.e. in Austria and West Germany.

[12] As neither organization was created ex nihilo, they may both be considered legitimate successors to the Русский Скаут heritage.

[13] There are groups of this Scout association in Germany,[11] Argentina,[14] the United States[15] and other countries in Europe, the Americas and Australia.
