OUR ASSOCIATIONS

“The Union aims at gathering, in one same community of faith, prayer and action, the various national associations of the Guides and Scouts of Europe, the primary objective of which is to educate youth using Baden Powell’s traditional scouting method, based on the Christian values that are at the roots of our common European civilisation.

Beyond country borders, the Union wants to set up a true Christian life community for youth in the various European countries. Thereby, it means to raise awareness among the peoples of the European community, and at the same time, to develop a healthy culture of all the national values, which represent the diverse expressions of our common heritage.” (Items 1.2.1. and 1.2.2 of the Statutes).

 In 2024, our Union counts more than 73 000 members in 27 associations:
