Scouts et Guides de France ( Scouts and Guides of France, SGdF) is the largest Scouting and Guiding association in France. It was formed on 1st September 2004 from the merger of two Roman Catholic Scouting organizations: the Guides de France (founded in 1923) and the Scouts de France (SdF, founded on 25 July 1920). Through Scoutisme Français, SGdF is a member of both WOSM and WAGGGS. SGdF claims 62,000 youth members and 14,000 volunteers in 924 local groups.
