Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme 
Headquarters Belgium Country International Founded November 12, 1978 President Brian Cockburn Website
Confédération Européenne de ScoutismeKnown in English as the Confederation of European Scouts, the Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme was formed in Brussels, Belgium on November 12, 1978, and is based in Belgium. CES stresses the European dimension of their Scouting program and that CES provides the "authentic Scouting of Baden-Powell". The CES is a confederation of national federations. The CES is a split off of the Fédération du Scoutisme Européen (FSE) later renamed to the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe; it left after controversies about the importance of religious elements in the single associations' programs and co-education.[1] The exact number of members of the CES is unknown.
