Known in English as the Confederation of European Scouts, the Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme was formed in Brussels, Belgium in 1978, and is based in France. CES stresses the European dimension of their Scouting program and that CES provides the "authentic Scouting of Baden-Powell". The CES is a split off of the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe; it left the UIGSE after controversies about the importance of religious elements in the single associations' programs.
CES includes about 15 member associations, including two umbrella federations in seven European countries:[1]
- Belgium - Europe et Scoutisme
- France - Fédération Française de Scoutisme (FFDS, founded 1970); umbrella federation
- Germany - Bund Europäischer Pfadfinder (BEP, founded 1952)
- Netherlands - FSE Federatie Scouting Europa Nederland
- Poland - Związek Harcerstwa Rzeczypospolitej (ZHR, associate member)
- Spain - Confederación Española de Federaciones y Asociaciones Scouts; umbrella federation
