Development of the movement:
In 1970 the Fédération Française des Eclaireuses Unionistes merged with the Eclaireurs Unionistes de France to become the Fédération des Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs Unionistes de France, a co-educational federation providing a Protestant education.
Programme:
In the Junior Branch most of the packs are mixed, as are the patrols within them. In the Intermediate Branch and the Rangers, both mixed and single-sex units operate. Whenever there is a mixed unit, a balance between girls and boys must be maintained and the proportion cannot be higher than 60/40 per cent. Mixed units are headed by a team of male and female leaders. The Association integrates disabled and migrant members into open units.
Relationship to society:
The Association publicizes its events and activities through the local and national press and through television reports included in weekly Protestant programmes. They also publish various periodicals: Le Lien, for leaders; Kotick, for members of the Junior Branch; and AEIOU, for members of the Intermediate Branch.
Training:
The Association emphasizes the need for thorough training, and has a three-tier training programme. The first tier involves leaders from the age of 17 who receive training under four headings: knowledge of the child and the teenager; essential elements of Girl Scouting; the role of the unit; and activities. Training in special skills such as sailing, pottery and gymnastics is also provided.
The second tier involves leaders from the age of 19, with some training experience, and aims to further their general training and teach them how to run a camp. Personal development plays a more important part at this level. The third tier is the training of trainers, which is organized at national level, includes educational theory and aims at developing relations with young people.
