The Fédération des Scouts de la République démocratique du Congo (FESCO), the national federation of eleven Scouting organizations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was founded in 1924, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) first in 1963 and again in 1981. The coeducational Fédération des Scouts de la République démocratique du Congo has 71,486 members as of 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scout.org/en/around_the_world/countries/national_scout_organisations/some_statistics )〕 Scouting was banned in the Congo in 1967 by the government, and was restarted in the late 1970s. In 1981, the ''Organisations des Eclaireurs du Zaïre'' (OEZA) was readmitted to the WOSM. In 1990, the OEZA changed its structure and was renamed ''Fédération des Scouts du Zaïre'' (FSZ), the direct predecessor of the present FESCO. The FESCO consists of eleven regional national Scout associations, reflecting the structure of the country. There was a general meeting in 2004 of all the Scout Associations with the intention of helping pave the way for creating a single national Scout association. ==Program== The federations works in four branches: * Louveteaux (Cub Scouts) — ages 6 to 12 * Scouts — ages 13 to 17 * Aînés (Senior Scouts) — ages 18 to 20 * Routiers (Rover Scouts) — ages 20 to 25 The Scouts are service-oriented. They are a non-denominational organization and open to all youngsters. Scouts have promoted primary health care and community development. Scouts have built bridges and buildings, repaired schools, cleaned dispensaries and organized hygiene and nutrition campaigns. The Scout Motto is ''Uwe Tayari'', ''Be Prepared'' in Swahili, and ''Sois Prêt'' (Be Prepared) or ''Toujours Prêt'', ''Always Prepared'' in French, depending on the organization. The Scout emblem incorporates an earlier variant of the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fédération des Scouts de la République démocratique du Congo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
