Confederation of European Scouts

(16 member associations in 7 countries, founded 1978)

Known in English as the Confederation of European Scouts (to match the "CES" abbreviation), the CES was formed in Brussels, Belgium, in 1978, and is based in France. They stress the "European dimension" of their program and that they provide the "authentic Scouting of Baden-Powell". There appears to be considerable overlap with FSE.
