The association des scouts et guides de Riaumont, (organization of the scouts and guides of Riaumont) is a small French catholic scouting organization related to the village d'enfants de Riaumont (childrens' village). They run three troops, one in Riaumont, one in Fontgombault, and one in Paris.
Its scouts are known to wear leather shorts.
The village
The village d'enfants de Riaumont is a technical school for difficult boys located in Liévin, near Lens, in northern France. It is run by benedictine monks of the Order of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem, created to fulfil a wish by father Jacques Sevin, the best known founding father of French catholic scouting.
In addition of being teached, boys also belong to a special troop called the "spahis". Spahis wear a blue shirt, a red neckerchief and a red "calot" (small hat), and only those able to understand what a scout Promise is are allowed to pronounce it.
Parts of the village have been decorated with paintings specially designed by Pierre Joubert himself.
