During World War II, the EdF was among the founding members of the ''Fédération du Scoutisme Français'' in 1941. In 1947 some leaders left the EdF for its laical attitude and founded the [[Éclaireurs Neutres de France]] with a more positive position to religion. Despite this the membership of the EdF reached 50,000 Scouts in 1948.

The ''Éclaireurs de France'' and the ''Fédération des Éclaireuses'' started a process of mutual approach in 1949. This led to joint national [[Jamboree|jamborees]] and finally led to the merger of the EdF, the EF and the FEE in 1964 under the name ''Éclaireuses et Éclaireurs de France''.
