“Your organization allows you to gather 6,000 young people at a highly professional and educational event where each one knows about their activity and how to replicate information and guidance to their troops and teams, I am very impressed. It’s an amazing job, you are neatly crazy! ”, he got excited.

Baptiston enjoyed learning more about Scouting’s educational and value propositions. “Respect for differences and values ​​such as hierarchy and moral conduct, the skills and manual dexterity and awakening of different areas of knowledge that are useful for scouts and society,” he added.
