Our story

A trail that began in the 1950s

Milestones of the group, from its first patrols to the scouts of today.

  1. 1950s

    The first patrols

    Scouting takes root in Haref Ardeh as a group of Scouts du Liban.

  2. Decades

    Passed from hand to hand

    Generations of children grow up in the group; many come back as leaders.

  3. Today

    Three branches, one group

    Louveteaux, Éclaireurs and Pionniers, for boys and girls from 7 years old, guided by trained volunteers.

  4. Next

    Your child's chapter

    The next pages of the story will be written by the scouts who join us now.
