Europe-Jeunesse

Europe-Jeunesse is a French neo-pagan scouting organization established in 1973 and influenced by Nouvelle Droite values.[1][2]

History

After a meeting in December 1972 between GRECE members Jean Mabire, Maurice Rollet and Jean-Claude Valla to discuss the creation of a pagan scouting organization, Europe-Jeunesse held its first camp in Bussy-en-Othe in July 1973, under the supervision of Raymond Ferrand, a former member of Europe-Action.[2][3] Europe-Jeunesse is an attempt at a synthesis between the early French scouting movement of Nicolas Benoit (1875–1914), and the pre-Nazi German Youth Movement.[2] The organization has adopted the symbol of Europe-Action and the FEN, a hoplite helmet.[3][2]

Europe-Jeunesse is made up of ten ethno-cultural "bans": "Gallia Belgica" for Wallonia, "Liguerie" for the Nice region, "Blood and Gold" around Nîmes, "Armed-Lions" in the Périgord, "Alpine" around Lyon and Grenoble, "An Avel Mor" in Brittany, "Comté Toulousain", "Île-de-France", "Alsace" and "Normandie". Each group is led by around sixty people in maîtrises (supervisory staffs), and activities follow natural pagan rhythms: the equinox, the solstice, the gathering of mistletoe, a camp for the Celtic Festival of Samhain, etc.[2]

Yvan Benedetti was a member of Europe-Jeunesse in his youth,[4] as were the children of Jean-Yves Le Gallou.[3]
