The study of the Scouts and Guides of France through its annual calendars from 1936 to 2017 shows that three major changes occurred in the depictions of the religious rationale during the period studied. First, we observe a shift in the form of references relating to religion: references do not decrease in volume, but the nature of the references becomes less traditional. Second, religion moves from a demonstration of faith to a more inner and less demonstrative religious life. Third, the depiction of religion is less centered on its own community and more open to others (religions, cultures, etc.).
