The usage of whilst is chiefly British. For example, the BBC World Service website “Learning English”, in their “Ask about English” section, uses the word whilst when explaining the usage of “while and whereas”.
In American English and Canadian English, whilst is considered to be pretentious or archaic.

it was chiefly British until maybe 10 or 15 years ago, but due to the widespread influx of British English into North America from TV and internet sites like Wikipedia and, well, ILX, "whilst" is now commonplace in the US too.
