Is the Pony Club a bigger youth organisation than the Scouts?

Question

I over heard some one talking and saying this was true, but the Scouts was started over 100 years ago, and who or what is the Pony Club??

Answer 1

no way!! i used to be a part of the pony club. it's just one of those book clubs for girls. they send you books about horses and a LOT of other stuff that has to do with horses. like ive gotten stickers, a watch, a hoofpick, even an icepack with a horse design. o.o

but the scouts are way more popular.

Answer 2

"Internationally The Pony Club has a membership of over 110,000 across 18 countries, making it the largest association of riders in the world."  The organization is run by volunteers and is for young people who are interested in riding, learning about, and/or caring for horses or ponies. It has many levels and tests that both horse and rider compete in. The club will soon be celebrating its 80th Anniversary. It started in England in 1929.

'Many' years ago I was a pony clubber in Canada. If you want to ride, show and learn about horses, the pony club is the way to go.

The Scouts (age 11-14)

I don't know anything about Scouts and the Scout Movement but I did find out that "there are over 28 million Scouts in 155 countries worldwide"
