St. George Scouts

I would like to contribute the flag of the German (Catholic) St. George Scouts (Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft St. Georg).
DPSG has approx. 100,000 members. It was founded in 1929, prohibited by Hitler in 1938, and newly founded in 1946.
St. George's flag is combined with a blue symbol that is a merger of the Christian cross with a fleur-de-lys which I think is a quite interesting combination of two symbols.

It's been pointed out here that the symbol is a combination of the Scouting fleur-de-lys with this group's distinctive hat (formerly worn by US Scouts too, I think). The overall impression is a cross.

I was a member of German St. George Scouts and in our tribe, we considered the symbol as fleur-de-lys with scout hat. But I do not have an official written description of the symbol.

Association of Christian Girl- and Boy-Scouts

The association flag is blue with the large emblem outlined in white. The emblem consists of the cross, superimposed over a fleur-de-lys, which in turn is superimposed over a trefoil. These three charges clearly represent Christianity, Scouting and Guiding. The size of emblem may vary somewhat, as well as the shade of blue. Association of Christian Girl- and Boy-Scouts (Verband Christlicher Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder; VCP) is a German Protestant co-educational Scout association. It was founded in 1973 by fusion of three smaller Protestant Scouts' associations in the then West Germany. Since 1990, it also operates in the former East Germany as well.

Union of Muslim Girl- and Boy-Scouts of Germany

The flag is white, ratio about 2:3, charged with large emblem of the association in center. The emblem consists of a green star over a red fleur-de-lys, which is placed over a green trefoil, all encircled with a green crescent charged with the abbreviation B.M.P.P.D. in white. The whole device is placed within a green frame in form of a diamond with rounded corners. The charges clearly stand for Islam (star and crescent), Boy-Scouting (fleur-de-lys) and Girl-Scouting (trefoil). The design may be partly inspired by the one used by associations of Christian Scouts (see above), with which the Union of Muslim Scouts of Germany closely cooperates.
Union of Muslim Girl- and Boy-Scouts of Germany (Bund Moslemischer Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Deutschlands; BMPPD) was established in 2010. Its goal is to help Muslim children, most of whom come from immigrant families, to integrate better into the German society, while preserving their Muslim identity, all of that to be achieved through the Scouting activities, including cooperation with other associations of Scouts in Germany.
