DPSG stands for Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg. In Germany there is more than one Scouting organisation, who together make up the officially recognised Ring deutscher Pfadfinderverbände. The DPSG is a Catholic Scout organisation.
The DPSG was formed in 1929 – 22 years after the first Scout Camp in England. The four sections are called Wölflinge, Jungpfadfinder, Pfadfinder and Rover. The leaders are called Leiter and Leiterinnen. The organisation is divided into Diözesen – the Catholic Diocese areas, eg. the Diözese Mainz.
