Introduction

NoeliaPalaciosHermidaPresident

In the report you have in your hands, we tried to show you the most significant projects and activities done by the Catholic Scout Movement during 2009.A year in which we ended the development of a three-year Plan and we were able to collect the rewards co-ming from the hard work of the three previous years. During these past years we have done our bit in the growth of Scouts MSC identity, in promoting enga-ged citizenship and in the active participation in the Church’s mission. We have done this our way, a scout way.We have laid the foundations of very important projects for the future of the Catholic Scout Movement, inclu-ding the adoption of the Scouts MSC Charter, starting point of the work of the Youth Program that defines

who we are, or the approval of the implementation of the Scout Foundation.These are some of the projects that are included in the new Three-Year Plan 2009-2012, a plan we hope can meet the current and future needs of the Movement, contributing to its strengthening and development. We also want to thank all the people who are or have been part of government bodies, work teams, Commit-tees, collaborators and scout leaders. We truly appre-ciate their personal voluntary and engaged dedication to serve others, through which Scouts MSC contributes to the positive change of the world. Without all of the-se men and women and without the invaluable help of the professional teams, this work would not have been possible.

Be prepared!

Presentation - Galician languageNa memoria que tendes nas vosas mans tratouse de reflectir os proxectos e as actividades máis senllei-ras realizadas no Movemento Scout Católico durante o ano 2009.

Un ano no que rematou o desenvolvemento dun Plan Trienal e no que se recolleron os froitos dun in-tenso traballo realizado nos tres anos anteriores.

Durante estes anos achegamos o noso gran de area no crecemento da identidade de Scouts MSC, na pro-moción dunha cidadanía comprometida e na partici-pación activa na misión da Igrexa, desenvolvendo a nosa tarefa cun estilo, o noso estilo scout.

Presentation - Catalan languageA la memòria que teniu a les vostres mans s’ha tractat de reflectir els projectes i les activitats més significa-tives dutes a terme al Movimient Scout Catòlic durant l’any 2009.

Un any què s’ha finalitzat el desenvolupament d’un Pla Triennal i en què s’han recollit els fruits de la in-tensa feina duta a terme els tres anys anteriors.

Durant aquests anys hem posat el nostre granet de sorra en el creixement de la identitat de Scouts MSC, en la promoció d’una ciutadania compromesa i en la participació activa en la missió de l’església, desenvo-lupant la nostra tasca amb el nostre estil scout.

Hem posat les bases de projectes importants per al futur del Moviment Scout Catòlic, com l’aprovació de la Carta de Scouts MSC, punt de partida de tre-ball del Programa de Joves el qual defineix qui som o l’aprovació de l’arrancada de la Fundació Scout.

Aquests són alguns dels projectes que queden reco-llits en el Pla Triennal 2009-2012 amb el qual esperem donar resposta a les necessitats actuals i futures del Moviment i contribuir al seu enfortiment i desenvo-lupament.

Amb aquestes línies volem agrair la feina feta per totes les persones que han format o que formen part dels òrgans de govern del Moviment, dels equips, perma-nents, comissions, col·laboradors i responsables scouts.

Els agraïm l’entrega personal voluntària i compro-mesa amb el desenvolupament d’un servei cap els altres a través del qual Scouts MSC contribueix a la transformació positiva del món. Sense tots ells i elles, i sense la inestimable ajuda dels equips de professio-nals, aquesta labor no hauria estat possible.

Sempre a punt!

Presentation - Basque languageZuen eskuetan dekozuen memorian, 2009. urtean Mo-vimiento Scout Catolikoak egin dituen proiektu eta aktibitate nabarmenak erakutsi nahi izan ditugu.

Hirurteko Plana amaitu den urte honetan, azken hiru urteetan egin den lan gogorraren emaitzak jaso ditugu.

Azken urteotan, gure indarrak ipini ditugu hainbat gauza egiteko; Scout MSC identitatearen hazkundean, hiritartasun konprometitu baten sustapenean eta Eli-zaren Msioaren parte-hartze aktiboan; gure lana estilo baten garatzen, gure estilo eskautan.

Movimiento Scout Catolicoaren etorkizunerako di-ren proiektu garrantzitsuei hasiera eman diegu; Scout MSC Gutunaren onarpena, “Programa de Jóvenes” la-naren hasiera (nortzuk garen definitzen du), edo Es-kaut Fundazioa martxan jartzearen onarpena.

Hauek dira Hirurteko Plana 2009-2012 berrian agertzen diren proiektu batzuk. Eta Plan berri hone-kin, indarkeria eta garapena eraikitzen, Mugimendua-ren gaur egungo eta etorkizuneko beharrei erantzun nahi diegu.

Lerro hauek aprobetxatu nahi ditugu, Mugimendua-ren Gobernu-organoan, taldeetan, iraunkorretan eta komisioetan parte-hartu duten edo ari diren pertso-nei, kolaboratzailei eta eskaut arduradunei eskerrak emateko, egin duten lanagatik.

Besteengan dauketen konpromizu eta borondatezko emate pertsonala eskertu nahi dugu. Haien laguntza barik, eta talde-profesionala barik, lan hau ezin izan-go zen aurrera eraman.

Beti Prest!

CatholicScout MovementFounded in 1961, the Catholic Scouting Movement is the federation of Catholic associations in Spain and it brands itself as well-rounded educational movement. Regardless of any political party and not identified with any ideology, the Catholic Scout Movement aims to educate free and responsible, open and caring, committed and critical people. To achieve this, we suggest an active, customized, creative and useful education. Thousands of scout leaders work voluntarily each year to educate children and young people to be engaged in building a more just, free, sustainable and supportive society. Scouts MSC Regional Associations represent more than 35,000 children and young people aged from 6 to more than 20 years old.

m09 12

SCOUTS MSC CHARTERWE ARE AN EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT THAT SUGGESTS BOYS, GIRLS AND YOUTH TO TAKE ON THE LEADERSHIP OF THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT.

We are an Educational Movement, a group of men and women who share the ideal of individual, society and Church from the Catholic Scouting and are committed to develop and extend its Pedagogical Plan in Spain.

We are a Movement for children and young people, which also includes as educational agents scouts leaders. Families and Christian communities rely on scout leaders’ ability to take responsibility for the young people development and shape the educational environments that make Scouting possible. Our commitment to them all is articulated through an educational proposal, the Youth Program, which aims to answer their needs and aspirations at any time.

To carry out our project, we have an organizational structure which must be effective, flexible, democratic and participa-tory for all the agents that are part of the Movement.

WE ARE PART OF THE SCOUT MOVEMENT, A UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD THAT SHARES AN IDEAL OF LIFE, A WORKING ME-THOD AND A MISSION: TO CONTRIBUTE TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD.

We are part of the Scout Movement, a universal brotherhood that wants to contribute to build a better world, according to the universal values stated in the Scout Law and Promise as shown in the Constitution of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the ones that invite every scout to be a well-rounded, happy, socially committed person and to be open to an encounter with the Transcendence.

Through our activities, performed according to the Scout Method, we support children and youth in their personal growth process, suggesting the active involvement in a non-formal educational project that allows them to take on the leadership of their own development.

By means of making their educational work, the scout leaders carry out a service to others through which the Movement contributes to the positive change of the world, using their personal example as a fundamental tool and engaging in training and development processes.

WE ARE PART OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, A GOOD PLACE THAT INVITES YOU TO THE TRANSFORMING ENCOUNTER WITH GOD WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DEVELOP THEIR SPIRITUAL DIMENSION ARE WELCOMED.

We are part of the Catholic Church and we feel part of its mission, the one that we develop through our educational pro-ject. Our Movement is a good place where Christian people are suggested to strengthen their faith through an encounter with Christ, the commitment to the Church, and the choice to incorporate the Gospel values to their own life.

We are the Scouting proposed by the Church under a pastoral initiative and that is why we feel called to be the home of the Catholic Scouting in Spain.

Through Catholic Scouting, the Christian Community opens itself up and welcomes people willing to discover and to go into their spiritual experience in depth, regardless of whether they have a religious tradition of their own or not. That is why we undertake to encourage the plurality and communion within the Church, and to contribute to Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue

WE ARE A MOVEMENT COMMITED WITH OUR NATURAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT.

We are a movement committed with society, with each and every one of the people living in the Spanish territory, espe-cially with children and youth irrespective of their circumstances, and with their families that entrust us with part of their sons and daughters’ education.

We are a non partisan movement were you can find people sharing Scouting values and commitment to democracy, and with different political and social points of view.

We want to contribute to build a better world encouraging boys, girls and youth to become critical, responsible, partici-patory citizenry and to be actively committed with the transformation of their different social environments and open to the cooperation with all the people of the world.

We put effort into networking with those organizations we can share our service with. We are aware that we are part of the natural environment and we are committed to its preservation and responsible use, promoting sustainability.

We believe that our different cultural identities, both our own and the ones coming from foreign people, represent a trea-sure that must be known, conserved and valued through our educational project since it promotes a inter cultural social model.

Adopted at the 51st Ordinary General Assembly of Movimiento Scout Católico Madrid, October 24th and 25th , 2009

MissionThe Scouting mission is to collaborate to the educa-tion of children and young people through a system of values based in the Scout Law and Promise, hel-ping to build a better world where people can fulfill themselves as individuals and play a constructive role in society.

This is achieved: • Involving them throughout their formative years

in a non-formal educational process. • Using a specific method that makes each indivi-

dual be the main agent of their own development as an autonomous, supportive, responsible and commit-ted person.

• Helping to establish a system of values based in the spiritual, social and personal principles as stated in the Scout Law and Promise.

Scout Method Children and young people are the major characters of activity programs. These programs are mainly ca-rried out in contact with nature. They grow to beco-me committed and responsible citizens through the game, teamwork and community service.MethodadaptstochildreninthedifferentBranches:

• Beavers (ages 6 to 8)• Cub Scouts (ages 8 to 11)• Venture Scouts (ages 11 to 14)• Explorer Scouts (ages 14 to 17)• Rovers (ages 17 to 20)

Scouts MSC worldwide.The Scouting Movement was founded in 1907 by Ba-den-Powell. More than a hundred years later, Scouting is present in 216 countries and territories and has over 31 million children, young people and scout lea-ders as active members. In the past 20 years, the Scouting movement has almost doubled the number of members. Most part of this growth has taken place in developing countries.

The highest institution in Scouting is the World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM), and Scouts MSC is part of it through the Federación de Escultismo en España (FEE).

Scouting is a social force, an agent under develop-ment with a performance based in democratic values. Scouting pays attention to society needs and works in order to build a better world.

We are involved in a culture of peace open to every-body, built on friendship and brotherhood; a culture that encourages diversity and tolerance.

Wherever we are, we reaffirm our commitment towards peace and the environment. We put into practice our skills and talents so that we can help others, learning by action and later sharing the knowledge achieved. We have fun for a reason and we have a sense of belonging to the worldwide movement we are part of.

m09 14

As part of the Church, Scouts MSC is also part of the International Catholic Conference of Scouting (ICCS). This organization is a link between the Catho-lic Church and Scouting. The objectives of the ICCS are offering resources to Scout associations that gua-rantee faith education inside the Movement and pro-moting Ecumenism and Interfaith dialogue.

Besides, Scouts MSC has relations and joint projects of solidarity, twinning and cultural and/or religious coexistence with Scout associations from Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Peru, El Salvador, France, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Switzerland, Uru-guay and others.

Scouts MSC is also part of:• LaFederacióndeEscultismoenEspaña

The FEE has also an associate member, the Federació Catalana d’Escoltisme i Guiatge (FCEG). The FEE officially represents the acknowledged Spanish Scouting and the interests of more than 70,000 children, young people and scouts leaders before the World Organization of the Scouting Move-ment.

• ElConsejodelaJuventuddeEspaña (CJE) (Spanish Youth Council) a network for youth organizations, was created by law in 1983 and it is composed of the different youth councils from the Autonomous Communities and other nationwi-de youth organizations. Scouts MSC is founding member and keeps a close relationship, proacti-vely participating in the youth councils from the Autonomous Communities , specialized commissions

• We have kept direct contact with many bishops and we have had a representative in the Standing Committee of the Lay Forum.

• The creation of the “Social” Permanent Working Team and the “Treasury” Permanent Working Team

• Active participation in the Youth Council, ca-rrying out its chairmanship, taking part in operative groups, in the ordinary meetings and in some training opportunities.

We have maintained a close relationship with the Catholic members of the Youth Council, mainly since the celebration of the Forum “Pastoral with Youth”.

• Training in different levels was provided: ITT, Course of Management, Course for Growth, Course for Scout Group Founders, Chaplains Meeting...

• Talking about institutional relations, it is worth mentioning the contact with AISG Spain that makes easy the creation of associations of adults close to Scouts MSC.

• A new Code of Ethics for funding was developed and the statutes and Internal Rules were reformed to adapt them to the new needs of the Movement.

• Authorization was given in order to create a Scout Foundation. The Foundation would help to finance the movement and we started to work on grants to try to diversify the forms of financing

• An important effort was made in order to be pre-sent in the required forums and institutions.

• We count with a strong international presence, for the first time a Vice President of the World Scout Committee is a Spaniard and also from Scouts MSC and we have supported the WOSM to get over their institutional crisis. It have been a dramatic increa-se of young people participating in international en-counters and bilateral working meetings have been strengthened. For the first time, an institutional visit to Geneva as FEE was made.

GeneralPlan ofAction2007-2010The General Plan of action 2007-2010 of Scouts MSC has been a three year work commitment that has re-volved around four important points: 1.Growing up in our identity, as an up-to-date

and alternative movement that educates for the social transformation, promoting a proposal for the creation of the Youth Program, defining and implementing an Adult Resources policy based on world politics, em-powering efficient networking that makes the most of the synergy of the associations, improving manage-ment tools and aligning human resources policy with the strategy of the association. 2.Promotingengagedcitizens, analyzing and de-

fining a growth plan for the association, the com-munication policy and the Scouts MSC representation and postures in institutional forums, both social and scout, both national and international.3.TakingpartintheMissionoftheChurch, deve-

loping and communicating the model of being Church, participating in the Ecumenical and Interfaith Dialo-gue, promoting Scouts MSC presence and participation in ecclesiastical forums, making easier the existence of diocesan and regional Chaplains.4.Developingourstyle so we can get a greater

associative connection leading to the mission of Scouting, finding common work areas where everybo-dy feels identified, accepted and comfy , seeing each of our differences as an element of collective wealth and developing new views and opinions promoting cross-curricular themes and networking.

In 2009, the stage of one National Board was ended. This stage came up after a period of Interim Commit-tee. Of the four important points presented in these three years we highlight as important facts:

• Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Scouting.• The implementation of the debate of the Scouts

MSC Youth Program, adopting the Scouts MSC Charter and the Integral Development Areas of the individual And creating the Group Leaders Committee.

• The change in Scouts MSC media, supporting the web 2.0 and joining online communities. Also laun-ching advertising campaigns such as Quieroserscout

InternationalScouts MSC has as one of its main objectives the promotion of international relations with other Scout associations and international institutions, aiming to exchange experiences, increase its presence worldwide and strengthen bonding with other international scout and volunteering associations.Moreover, Scouts MSC offers every possible resource so its associations can do activities with scouts from any part of the world.

Bilateral MeetingsScouts MSC has participated in 2009 in two bilateral meetings with Scout Associations from Portugal and France.

The Portuguese-Spanish meeting was held on Nov-ember 12th-14th. In this meeting with the Corpo Na-cional de Escutas, to which many members of Scouts MSC attended, a comparative analysis of the ways of local organizations to support local groups was per-formed and the International Iberian projects, that were going to happen in the following months, were planned.

The French-Spanish meeting was held from 13 to 15 March in Paris. In this meeting with Scouts et Gui-des de France (SGdF), the pedagogical renewal pro-cess taking place in France was announced, it was a good opportunity to learn from their experience and propose joint cooperation in the Youth Program.

RoverwayFrom 20 to 28 July was held in Iceland the European Rover Meeting, Roverway. Under the motto Open Up! 263 scouts from Scouts MSC participated in the mee-ting and had the chance to live with thousands of scouts from all Europe. The Roverway is celebrated every three years at Euro-pean level and it is aimed at young people aged from 16 to 22.

This year, the Scout Association of Iceland was the host even though the event was also coordina-ted by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)

The Roverway has been an outstanding meeting for the Scout MSC participants who were able to experien-ce first person the international Scouting. As well as

m09 21

learning physical and intellectual skills in the works-hops and getting to know in depth Icelandic culture and landscapes, Scouts MSC contingent lived an emo-tional learning sharing the experience with scouts from other European countries.

Joti-JotaThe Jamboree on the internet (JOTI) and the Jambo-ree on the air (JOTA) were held during the weekend, October 17th and 18th. Both are international events taking place in the distance using the technological advances.

During the weekend, scouts all over the world get connected through Internet or radio. Previously, they have worked in some educational materials to put to-gether during the meeting. In 2009 the JOTI/JOTA had as motto: “Challenge the Climatic Change” since the event coincided with the United Nations Clima-

tic Change Conference in Copenhagen. Several Scouts MSC groups organized meetings to participate in the JOTI and worked in the proposed educational mate-rials.

VI Interamerican Scout Summit60 delegates from nearly every country in the region attended the Interamerican Scout Summit, on Fe-bruary 27th and 28th. During the Summit, the Re-gional Youth Program was announced and a workshop about international cooperation financing was carried out.

Scouts MSC had the opportunity to maintain bi-lateral meetings with some scouts associations like the ones from Ecuador, Colombia or Argentina and ex-change pedagogical material.

More than 1,500 scouts

have participated in international

activities this year

m09 22

Cimeira Ibérica (Iberian Summit)The Cimeira Ibérica between The Corpo Nacional de Escutas (CNE) and Scouts MSC was held on Novem-ber in the quinta de San João (Elvas). The Cimeira was good to exchange experiences and promote new projects between the two neighboring scout associa-tions. 29 people coming from the two associations attended the event and worked in different fields re-lated to bilateral relations: institutional, the regions and projects. About the last ones, some initiatives were taken forward like the Travessía, a meeting that will be held in May 2010 and the proposal to do the Way of Saint James together.

International CooperationFor the fifth consecutive year, Scouts MSC has assig-ned 0,7% of its budget to development cooperation

projects and solidarity in developing countries. Of all the projects applying, the educational and/or forma-tive ones were prioritized, according to Scouts MSC mission. Nicaragua, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Bolivia and Morroco were the scenarios where the pro-jects have taken place:

• A. I Scouts D’Aragón. Naturalezadealtura (High Nature) (Bolivia)• Federación de Scouts Católicos de Castilla la Mancha. LosniñosdelaPlata (The Children of La Plata) (Bolivia)• Scouts de Castilla y León - MSC. Ruta Bolivia (Bo-livian Route) (Bolivia).• Minyons Escoltes i Guies de Catalunya: LaEscue-lita (The Little School) (Dominican Republic); In-ternationalCooperationinErrachidia (Morocco); Work Camp “Organización de trabajo para ni-ños” (Work Organization for Children) (Morocco); BarcelonaExchange– Missour (Morocco)

m09 23

ProjectsScouts MSC has started the renewal process of the Youth Program and has launched a new webpage www.scouts.es

The Youth Program (Programa de Jóvenes-PdJ)The renewal of the PdJ aims to place the educational proposal that Scouting offers to children and young people in a particular place and time, in other words, here and now.

There are different reasons why Scouts MSC has em-barked on this project. The first is based on solidarity with the smaller member associations who cannot ela-borate their own proposal because of lack of resour-ces. And the second is based on sharing a common identity as a Movement.

The PdJ will benefit every member association be-cause, on one hand, it will give the Regional Associa-tions a Program or another one (in case they already have one) to have a reference for future renewals. On the other hand, it will allow the whole Movement to emphasize the educational contents of the Youth Program and not its structures.

In order to renew the PdJ, the federation has created a Group Leaders Committee whose purpose is to guarantee that the PdJ fits the everyday rea-lity lived in the Scout groups and encourage all of the scouts leaders from the Regional Associations to take part in the different forums were the PdJ is discussed.

The renewal process of the PdJ will have three steps which are the same than the ones proposed by the RAP, a document made by the WOSM in 2000 to serve as a guide to renew the programs.

In Scouts MSC each step will last a year. In 2009, the renewal general aspects were worked. First, the educational proposal was discussed: the framework document where the PdJ will settle. Second, the gene-ral educational objectives, namely, what every young person should achieve once finished the educational project proposed. At last, during this last year the different areas of Development of the individual were also discussed.

In later steps of the renewal of the Youth Pro-gram, we will work in the restructuring of the edu-cational proposal, the ages and the objectives of each branch and adapting the Scout Method to each branch. Finally, we will discuss about the kind of activities of the proposal, the role of adults in it

and the personal progress system that makes each young people take on the leadership of their own development.

Inside the process, different encounters were held in order to allow the main characters to debate and exchange opinions about the PdJ. During 2009, Scouts MSC hosted a meeting for scout leaders, Desencadena, focused on today’s children and young people’s needs and expectations and how Scouting should answer them.

200 scouts coming from everywhere in Spain at-tended Desencadena in San Martín del Castañar (Sa-lamanca).

During Desencadena, three different dynamics were organized to work in the proposed topics. Presenta-tions were given on the specific characteristics of the development areas (emotional, physical, spiritual, etc) and discussion groups were created to exchange the ideas proposed by the speakers. We had two ex-perts committees, one made of people coming from the academic world and the other of expert people from 5 different countries.

Group dynamics were carried out in order to dis-cuss what objectives must have the Youth Program. Participants had the chance to be the main characters of the creation of the Scout MSC educational project.

Scouts.esThis year, www.scouts.es was launched. Scouts MSC wants to join the 2.0 webs and the on line commu-nities. New communication tools have started to be used, like blogs, facebook, Twitter and Flickr. This has allowed us to increase our audience and reach more people who may be interested in our activities.

The webpage also allows a better feedback through comments. It is a good way to improve communica-tion with local scout groups and it has become a pla-ce where they can share their activities or look up handy information.

m09 24

The Peace Light from BethlehemScouts MSC takes part in the Peace Light from Bethle-hem project that this year was inspired in the figures present in the birth of Jesus to remove the borders that prevent the creation of a better world.

The Peace Light from Bethlehem is a Scouts and Guides of Austria’s initiative. A couple of weeks before Christmas, an Austrian kid travels to the cave of the birth of Jesus in Jerusalem to pick up the Peace Light.

After that, during an Ecumenical ceremony in Vien-na, the delegations of the different national Scout Association collect the Peace Light to take it to their countries.

Scouts MSC has been involved in this project sin-ce 1999 with the purpose of carrying the Christmas message to many people as possible and encouraging scouts to actively participate in the work of Peace as members of an international movement.

The aim of this year’s campaign, “To open borders”, was breaking down all the borders that prevent to send a message of Peace on Christmas. Around 400 people attended on December, 13th the collecting act of the Peace Light from Bethlehem at the parish of Sant Agustí in Barcelona. Through the representa-tion of the crib, the meaning of the Christmas and the message of the Peace Light was transmitted to all the audience.

This light was later distributed throughout Spain in more than 100 events.

Scouts MSC collected the WYD CrossOne delegation of Scouts MSC took part in the co-llection of the World Youth Day Cross in the Vatican, Rome. This was the first act of preparation of the XXVI World Youth Day Madrid 2011. Five representatives from Scouts MSC traveled there since the Movement is committed to the preparation of the WYD. The co-llection of The WYD Cross is a tradition created by the

Pope John Paul II who was also the one who promo-ted the World Youth Days (WYD).

The Cross was collected in Rome on Palm Sunday and it was carried to Madrid where, on Good Friday, a welcome ceremony was held. Since then, and until the celebration of WYD 2011, the Cross will visit various dioceses and parishes throughout Spain.

Scout Week in TaizéA group of people from Scouts of Murcia-MSC attended the Scout Week in Taizé from 22 to 29 August. The Scout Week was organized by the Europe-Mediterra-nean region of the International Catholic Conference of Scouting (ICCS).

During the camp, the young people participated in Bible Study workshops and also had the opportunity to think about the scout everyday life view in the light of the Gospel. Scouts from everywhere attend

It alsoencouragesenvironmentalconsciousnessandrespectamongchildren.

Alternative ProposalWith this program, Scouts de Galicia-Escutismo Ca-tólico Galego tries to offer an attractive and educa-tional leisure alternative where social values, critical thinking skills and commitment to environment are developed. All this is carried out through activities that an-swer an educational method based on work in small groups, co-education, self-management, life in nature and promotion of healthy habits.

In other hand, we can tell that inside the groups there is a great diversity of children coming from different cultural background (mainly Latin Ameri-can, African and gypsy origin) and often there are also children coming from children’s shelters or dys-functional families with no means of support.

In addition, it is increasingly common to find young people with some kind of physical, mental or sensory disability. Therefore, the activities will aim, initially, to achieve the tolerance and respect needed to integrate children into our scout groups regardless of their origin.

All this, and taking to account a situation of chan-ges in traditional family structure (integration of women into the workforce, increase of single-parent family, new family models…) cause negative effects on children such as isolation, lack of parental control, inactivity or learning bad habits what creates the ne-cessity to insist on education in leisure.

Thus, through coexistence with other children and the Scouting basic mechanisms we try to promote conducts that can help them in their integral develo-pment and benefit their responsibility, participation, self-management, autonomy and problem solving, all in a safe environment surrounded by peers and with the help of the adults going with them in all the pro-cess.

Affective-sexual education and healthy lifeThe education for health program of Scouts Católicos de Andalucía is based on the leaders’ and parents’ tra-ining on areas such as education for values and group dynamics. Moreover, youths enter in contact for the first time with the problems of addictions and with emotional and sexual education in their social envi-ronment.

Drugs misuse prevention is the main objective of the National Plan on Drugs. Prevention pursues to make society aware and to mobilize it in order to create a culture of rejection to drugs by encouraging their own values and resources and by informing our citizens, especially boys, girls and youths, and they will develop positive, healthy and autonomous ways of life.

Associations are very important in prevention, as they are social structured platforms which are working on initiatives concerning the different issues that affect everyday life,

So they become excellent platforms to prevent drugs consumption.

Associations have several features that make possi-ble their intervention in prevention:

• As they belong to the community, they know its characteristics, needs, interests and resources.

• They are nearby referent points for the commu-nity.

• They generate a sense of membership and iden-tification with the social structure, getting closer to the community normative frame and common lan-guage.

• They have the capacity to multiply technical ac-tions, and to adapt them to the target community.

• They facilitate relationships, communication and exchange.

Engagement and valuesScouts d’Aragón - MSC is carrying out a non-formal whole educational program to promote activities in different growing areas: solidarity, integration, inter-culturality, promotion of participation, etc.

This program has two levels, by one hand, the as-sociative activities, in different areas and which are the result of the work that the different leaders are carrying out and, by the other hand, the group acti-vities in which the groups complete the program with their own activities.

For the program development, they use the scout active methodology, where the young people are the centre of the activity and make part of all the levels in developing projects, from their conception to the final celebration.

The central themes of all the activities in 2009 were:

• Strengthening the engagement of youths towards the Millennium Objectives.

• Promotion of equal opportunities and coeduca-tion.

• Promotion of democratic values and participa-tion, rejecting violent and antidemocratic behaviors.

Different levels of action were set out:• Information actions: Several information actions

were done, at both formal and informal levels. At a formal level we stress the seminar “Creating a better world” and the seminar “Active citizenship. To make it real, responsibility of all of us”

• Training actions: Besides the seminars, there were Days “We are different, we are equal”

• Publications and campaigns: The different tra-ining and information actions have a diffusion part and a part of pedagogical resources to use in the scout groups.

• Education and coordination actions: They consti-tute the core theme of the program; the next activi-ties were done:

“Llavors”The Federació d’Escoltisme Valencià (FEV) makes a Vo-lunteering Training Program based on the idea that Scouting can be an adequate place for the personal growing and for the development as adults. The pro-gram revolves around Scouting as a place for social change.

The project encourages the personal growing of FEV leaders and moreover, it is useful to develop a modern Youth Program, capable to respond to the future edu-cational challenges. The Federació wants to promote the access to a training offer that meets everyone’s needs, in coordination and in collaboration with the Escola de formació de

la Federació d’Escoltisme Valencià (approved by the Valencian Youth Institute IVAJ)

The training program was created after having rea-lized that, in today’s society, we need better and bet-ter leaders, people more and more engaged.

Moreover, it appears after having realized that this society is full of inequality and that it is urgent to educate supportive and engaged people.

Volunteers’ training is fundamental to help learners to explore their potential capacities. The program encourages cohesion and interpersonal relationship among volunteers and it increased their compromise to have an active role in society.
