Add to the fact that scouts used to be under military during and after WW2 (at least in Europe) and only decentralised around 70s (maybe not all countries, Polish did around 1969)

Not in most of Europe they didn't (and certainly not in the West). Baden-Powell may have been an ex-soldier, but he set up the Scouts and Guides as explicitly non-military youth organisations, and they remained that way in most countries (unless they were banned, which they were by the Nazis and in most of the Eastern bloc - Poland was unusual in creating a Scouting-Pioneer fusion).

I mean, I agree that the word has military connotations (so does Guides, but very few people remember that because it's a now-obscure reference to a unit of the British Indian Army), but what happened with Polish Scouting is not typical of the movement.

That is quite interesting and I assumed it stayed military akin to USSR and Nazi Germany (as they did ban those but Hitler Jungen worked under similar premises as in Poland and people are still treated as if they were in military when they were forced to join those). I do know UK did not have similar ones but not sure on France. Also, must look into that more as was convinced Scouts and Pioneers were one and the same in most places just differed by name? However, yep - not enough info.

The Scouts are definitely a different and separate organisation to the Pioneers - except in Poland. The Pioneers borrowed some of the 'optics' of Scouting (the uniform and motto have obvious similarities) but they are quite different in ethos and methodology.

The history of Scouting in France is really complicated, because there are a huge number of organisations, but certainly none of the associations linked to WAGGGS and WOSM were military/ paramilitary.
