The Verband Christlicher Pfadfinder*innen (roughly: Association of Christian Guides and Scouts, formerly Verband Christlicher Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder, VCP) is a German Protestant coed Scouting and Guiding association. According to the VCP, the organization has about 22,000 members.

It is a member of the Ring deutscher Pfadfinder*innenverbände (Federation of German Scouting and Guiding Associations, rdp), which in turn is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).[1]

In 2023 the organisation voted to rename itself to "Verband Christlicher Pfadfinder*innen" to make the name gender neutral.[2]
