Scouts et Guides de France

Scouts et Guides de France ("Scouts and Guides of France", SGdF) is the largest Scouting and Guiding association in France. It was formed on 1 September 2004 from the merger of two Roman Catholic Scouting organizations: the Guides de France (founded in 1923) and the Scouts de France (SdF, founded 25 July 1920). Through Scoutisme Français, SGdF is a member of both WOSM and WAGGGS.
SGdF claims 62,000 youth members and 14,000 volunteers in 924 local groups. It is active in the rebirth of Scouting in Ukraine and Belarus and strengthening Scouting in French Polynesia. The National Centre of the association is at Chateau de Jambville which is 50 km northwest of Paris.

Emblems.
The red Jerusalem Cross with the fleur-de-lis was the symbol of the "Scouts de France". It was designed by Father Jacques Sévin SJ, co-founder of the "Fédération des Scouts de France". The "Guides de France" used the same Jerusalem Cross with a superimposed trefoil. The emblem of the merged organization combines elements of both predecessors. The round orange background recalls the rope circle, which symbolizes the strength of the Movement.
