Theme

“Scouts and Catholics: walking together on the path of peace for one human family”

As the Church decisively deepens its synodal identity, scouting – whose method places listening to young people (ask the boy) at its center – presents itself as an extraordinary proposal for living and proclaiming the Gospel. In a context of wars and ideological polarizations, scouting is a concrete experience of fraternity where we recognize ourselves as members of a single human family.

• As members of the Catholic Church and the World Organization of the Scout Movement, how do we actively contribute to the building of peace through mutual understanding and friendship among people of different cultures and religions?
• As members of the Catholic Church and the World Organization of the Scout Movement, how are we the visible face of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who welcomes, accompanies, and proposes paths of humanization to all?
• As members of the Catholic Church and the World Organization of the Scout Movement, how do we, from our national associations, contribute to the formation of children and young people by integrating the spiritual and religious dimension?
