Scouting and Guiding in New Caledonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scouting is active in New Caledonia.[1][2] The Scouts et Guides de France is the largest Scout Association on the island. Scouts Vaillants is a smaller association. They are for children between 8 and 17 years old. In addition to typical scouting activities, participants can make traditional huts.[3]
