Known in English as the Confederation of European Scouts, the Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme was formed in Brussels, Belgium in 1978, and is based in France. CES stresses the European dimension of their Scouting program and that CES provides the "authentic Scouting of Baden-Powell". The CES is a split off of the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe; it left the UIGSE after controversies about the importance of religious elements in the single associations' programs.

CES has national presidents in:^[1]
