How many orgs and missions ARE there? According to Katherine Fraser at
Gold Base: "We have, you know, 6,000 groups, churches, missions
internationally." In 2008, Tommy Davis told CNN that they had 7,500
orgs and missions. Let's go to their official source and see what
Scientology.org says.

This is just the official list from the Scientology site itself as of April 8th, 2009. If
you know any other orgs or missions, or if you see any that have
closed or moved, please let me know. I know I must have missed a few
with the sucky system they've got set up, so if you see one I've
missed, tell me! Feel free to check my research and my math. (I'm splitting this into three posts because it's a really tl;dr chunk of information)

Interesting things I noticed:

• There are a lot of countries I've never heard of before.
• There are more Scientology centers listed in France than all of Canada.
• Italy has more Scientology centers listed than any other European country.
• There are a disproportionally large number of Scientology centers in
  Taiwan and Italy.
• There are Scientology centers in only four African nations.
• Pakistan is the only Islamic nation with a Scientology center.
• There are 1.6 billion people in China and not one Scientology center.
• Gold Base in Hemet is not listed as a Scientology location in the Scientology.org provided search. Neither is ASHO ANZO Sydney. I had to add them separately.
• There are more Scientology sites listed for California than any other state in the US.
• There are 17 US states without any official Scientology orgs/missions.
• 27 countries have at least one Org no change from 2007.
• 23 countries have missions only, down 7 from 2007.
• Most countries show little change in the number of service units. As noted in our previous surveys however, a few countries are different.
• Russia has two Orgs supporting a lot of Missions, but growth has reversed (30 down from 73) perhaps due to competition from Rons Org.
• Italy also has a lot of Missions, the number seems to have stabilised.
• Several other countries experienced a big growth in Missions such as Hungary, Slovakia, Taiwan and Ukraine but these like Russia appear to be in decline.
• In the USA the number of Missions has now fallen after a decade of steady increase.
• Orgs: 128 (no change) Missions: 322 (down 61 from 2007)

Historical geographic breakdown of orgs/missions: http://www.newsfrombree.co.uk/stolgy_5.htm

Results and Number Crunching
There are 472 listed Orgs and Missions in the whole world according to the official Scientology site

6,000 - 472 = 5,528 apparently missing orgs/missions that are not officially listed by Scientology.org

If there are 8-10 million Scientologists in the world and 472 missions/orgs officially listed by Scientology.org, there would have to be an average of 16,949 to 21,186 members for every single mission and org in the entire world.

**Note, this number includes Gold Base and ASHO ANZO buildings in California and in Sydney that were not listed by the Scientology.org website.

One you may want to add for Australia:

Sydney
AOSH ANZO (Advanced Organization Saint Hill Australia/New Zealand/Oceania)
19-37 Greek Street, Glebe 2037
(02) 9552 3733

Hubbard-Telescope

Odd that they don't have that included on their official search, I just went and double checked. Lol. I'll add it with a note that it's missing.

sock

Yeah, weird considering it's the headquarters for Australia and the Pacific. Good job on compiling the list.

Dublin's not in the United Kingdom.

Hubbard-Telescope

We'll chalk that up to an oversight error. :< I had somehow skipped over Ireland completely. @_@ Too many countries.

lothar

You are also missing un-opened Ideal Org bldgs. I'm guessing there are probably 20 or so in the US that I know about.. let alone other property.

But an empty Ideal Org shouldn't really count anyways.

[QUOTE=Hubbard-Telescope;823820]United States by state

Thanks Hubbard-Telescope this is tedious work and well presented.
I for one love it great work!

Hubbard-Telescope

Nope, unless it was specifically listed by Scientology.org themselves, it's not on the list. I'm guessing they're not including unopened buildings yet, too much of a risk if a confused public tries to googlemap to the location. :/ Maybe my next research list will be addresses of all opened and unopened ideal orgs. I know there's a thread on empty buildings already, but do they have a complete list with the addresses and time lines? Might be interesting to see how much each is supposed to cost vs how much money they say they've raised over the years.

You forgot to count all the front groups.

For example. In Norway, we have only one Class V org, but we have two(?) Narconons, a CCHR registered to a Scientologist's candy store, the Say No to Drugs Say Yes to Life, Performia, U-MAN, and the list goes on. I wonder if we've reached the point yet where there are more Scientology groups in this country than there are self-confessed Scientologists.

LRonAnon

Groups. A group could be anything. Their political PAC is group. Planning book sales drive at someones home is a group.

It's an empty set, it means nothing.

You missed the main org for Toronto Ontario Canada.

Church of Scientology of Toronto

AWESOME JOB HT ! - I would give you three "Hip Hip Hoorays" (But whenever somebody does that they look like an idiot.)

Edit: I never thought I would say this but : It might be worth sending this info. to Nathan Baca.

62 in Italy? That's fucked up!

Anyway, pretty sure this one does not exist:

Stockholm
Church of Scientology Mission of Stockholm
Verdandi Gatan 5
Stockholm, 11424
SWEDEN

It appears nowhere on google except on alt.religion bläh bläh bläh.

Scientology works and it helps people

Jesus, 62 in Italy? What're the odds that they're crawling all over the earthquake area right now? Ew ew ew.

I'm with Baca. http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=9975315

(nice double there Td, :), with all due respect but had ta laugh a bit)

Now we know for a fact Co$-suckers not only fail at math, but geography isn't a strong point either, liek Eritrea? Good fuckin' gravey, they claim Pitcairn Isle too? (I think the six-odd families there might have something to say about that), suprised they didn't add Easter Island to their missions Oh, there's an Island up here called 'Burial Is.', might as well add that too since its close enough for some of Lron's rotten fat to wash up on years ago.
Sryly tho,
Just amazing, and great work there OP!

How come the Haiti mission is located in Dominican Republic?

Does David Miscavige, a dwarf leading a destructive cult, killed Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard by shooting Vistaril in his butt? Or maybe XENU did it...
