The Scout Movement and the Jewish Scouts in France (E.E.I.F - Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs Israélites de France) was one of the most active youth movements of French Jewry busy with educational activities before the country was occupied by the Germans during World War II. With the beginning of the German occupation, the movement members went underground and began taking various steps to save French Jews from the Nazis and the Vichy rule. At that time, the name of the movement was E.I.F. (Jewish Scout Movement in France). The movement's leaders lived in the city of Moissac and it became the movement's center as well as the administrative center of all Jewish institutes for children who had lost their parents during the war.
