Scouting portal

The Fédération Nationale des Eclaireurs et Eclaireuses du Luxembourg (FNEL, National Scout and Guide Federation of Luxemborg) is one of Luxembourg's Scouting and Guiding organizations. It is a member of the Luxembourg Boy Scouts Association.

This interreligious association is open to all boys and girls of all religions, race and nationalities. It has about 1,000 members.

History

Interreligious Scouting in Luxembourg started in 1914. In 1916, twelve local Scout groups founded the Fédération Nationale des Eclaireurs du Luxembourg. The federation was among the founding members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1922. In 1940, under the German occupation, Scouting was banned in Luxembourg. The Scout groups went underground, some members were arrested in concentration camps.

In 1945, the FNEL and the Lëtzebuerger Scouten founded the Luxembourg Boy Scouts Association onto which the WOSM membership was transferred. The former boys-only FNEL opened to girls in 1966 and added the words et Eclaireuses (and Girl Guides) to its name in 1971.

Program

The FNEL is one of the very few Scouting and Guiding organizations that is still today heavily influenced by the ideas of Ernest Thompson Seton and his Woodcraft movement.

The organization has five age divisions:

  • Beavers – ages 5 to 7
  • Wëllefcher (Cub Scouts) – ages 8 to 11
  • Scouten & Guiden (Scouts and Guides) – ages 12 to 14
  • Explorers – ages 15 to 18
  • Routiers (Rover Scouts) – ages 18 to 26

Motto, Scout Oath and Law

The association's motto is "Trei zum Land" (Loyal to the country).
