| '''Bleimor''' ([[Breton language]] for ''Seawolf''), more fully '''''Urz Skatoued Bleimor''''', was a [[Breton]] [[Scouting]] organization, taken from the [[pseudonym]] used by Breton [[poet]] [[Jean-Pierre Calloc'h]], who died during World War I.
| |
| | |
| Bleimor was founded in Paris on [[January 9]], [[1946]] by [[Pierre Géraud-Keraod]] (later founder of the ''Scouts d'Europe'') and [[Lizig Géraud-Kéraod]], on the model of the ''[[Breton nationalism|Urz Goanag Breiz]]'' (''Order of the Breton Hope'' in the Breton language) youth movement for Celtic revival in [[Brittany]], founded in 1943 by [[Jean-Marie Perrot|Yann-Vari Perrot]] and [[Henry Caouissin]], on the model of the Welsh movement ''[[Urdd Gobaith Cymru]]'' (''Order of the Welsh Hope'' in the [[Welsh language]]).

| | |
| The statutes of the Bleimor organization were officially lodged with the [[Prefecture of Police]] of Paris in [[April]], [[1950]]. The goals of the association were stated as "Practices of Scouting and the activities of cultural expression, dances, choir singing, popular music, dramatic plays", without reference to [[Scouts de France]], nor to the Breton language.
| |
| | |
| The first bulletin, published in [[1947]], specified the objectives of the association as "Christian action, [[Modern Celts|Celtic]] expression, [[social service]], spiritual, cultural and folk formation of the Rovers, Scouts, leaders and Guides of France of Breton origin".
| |
| | |
| Bleimor merged into the [[Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe|Federation of European Scouts]] in [[1962]]. [[Joseph Chardronnet]] was chaplain of the organization from 1948 to 1965.

| Bleimor's [[flag]] was a green field charged with a yellow circle and a Scandinavian-style black [[cross]] fimbriated with white, the whole representing a [[Celtic cross]]. Rectangular as well as triangular flags were used. The Scout movement also used a white flag with a black cross voided through and seven black [[ermine]] spots in [[canton]]. The ermine spots had an unusual [[Art Deco|art déco]] pattern (a triangle, one vertical and two horizontal dashes).
