History

Scouting was founded in French Equatorial Africa in 1941, but was banned during the long Marxist period. Guiding was introduced to the Republic of the Congo in 1927, and became a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1957, and again in 1996 after the renewal of the organization.

The "Eclaireurs Neutres du Congo" were founded by the Éclaireurs Neutres de France, a French non-aligned Scouting organization, in 2004.cite web |url=http://www.fraternite.net/news/index.php3?article=241&Rubrique=Divers+Scouts&page=0 |title=Les ENF assistent le scoutisme au Congo |publisher=La Fraternité du Scoutisme |year=2004 |language=French |accessdate=2007-02-25]

Motto

The Scout Motto is "Sois Prêt" (Be Prepared) or "Toujours Prêt" (Always Prepared) in French, depending on the organization.
