Les Scouts et Guides Pluralistes de Belgique is a coeducational, nonreligious Scouting movement in French-speaking Belgium. This movement, known until 1992 as Fédération des Éclaireuses et Éclaireurs is the francophone branch after the split of the Boy-Scouts et Girl-Guides de Belgique (BSB-GGB) in 1966. Pluralist Scouts are officially recognized by the French Community in Wallonia-Brussels and are active members of the Council of the Conseil de la Jeunesse d’Expression française and the Confédération des Organisations de Jeunesse indépendantes et pluralistes (COJ).

Branches

[edit]

From 5 to 21 years old, young people are divided into different branches:

  • Castors (Beavers), from 5 to 8 years old
  • Louveteaux (Cubs), 8 to 12 years old
  • Guides et scouts (Guides and Scouts), 12 to 15 years old
  • Pionniers (Pioneers), 15 to 18 years old
  • Clan, from 18 to 21 years old

Uniform

[edit]

The uniform of the pluralist Scouts is composed of a scarf with the colors of its unit and a gray shirt. Girls and boys wear the same uniform. For the bottom in general there is no set rule, but some troops insist on wearing shorts.
