The Federation of North-American Explorers (FNE) is a Catholic faith-based, outdoor youth movement[1][2] in Canada and the United States of America based on the methods of Lord Robert Baden-Powell and Venerable Jacques Sevin, SJ. It was founded in 1999[3] and serves more than 1100 members in 31 active groups throughout North America.[4][5][6] The association is a member of the International Union of Guides and Scouts of Europe.[7] However, due to fundamental differences in the values and ideals of the FNE and those of scouting as it has developed in North America, the FNE program stresses that they are Explorers and not scouts.
