'''[[Scouting]] in [[French Guiana]]''' mainly follows the program of the [[Scouts et Guides de France]] (SGdF), but there are also groups of the [[Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs de France|Éclaireuses et Éclaireurs de France]].<ref>[http://perso.orange.fr/cijguyane/emploi/encevalo.html Site internet du CIJ Guyane - Centre vacances<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. The SGdF's ''Région Guyane'' (also known as ''Scouts de Guyane'') is an associate member of the [[WOSM-Interamerican Region|Interamerican Scout Region]] of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]].<ref>http://www.wsb-osi.cl/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=182&theme=quienes_somos</ref>
==History==
Scouting came to French Guiana in the 1930s. The first group of the [[Scouts et Guides de France|Scout de France]] (SdF) was founded in spring 1934 in [[Cayenne]], inspired by the [[Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs de France|Eclaireurs de France]] who were started a couple of years earlier by [[Samuel Chambaud]].<ref>[http://perso.orange.fr/redris/HTML/dico.htm Lexique<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It wasn't until the mid of the 1950s that a second group of the Scout de France was formed. In 1958, the movement was large enough to be organised in some districts, but Scouting in French Guiana still was not really stable. The following years saw again the loss of some groups.<ref>[http://perso.orange.fr/redris/HTML/nuit.html Histoire Du Scoutisme En Guyane Francaise<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
==Program==
Program, sections, [[Scout Law]] and [[Scout Promise|Promise]] of Scouting in French Guyana are the same as in the corresponding organizations in France. The [[Scout Motto]] is ''Sois Prêt'' (Be Prepared) or ''Toujours Prêt'' (Always Prepared) in French, depending on the organization.
There are slight alterations in the uniform due to climate.
==Groups==
Scouts et Guides de France has five groups in French Guiana: three in Cayenne; one in [[Cacao, French Guiana|Cacao]]; one in [[Matoury]].<ref>[http://72.14.221.104/search?q=cache:mVrJfxy1DOYJ:catholique-cayenne.cef.fr/pages/6_mouv_jeunesse_scout.php+%22scouts+de+france%22+guyane+-wikipedia&ct=clnk&cd=16]</ref>
