More and more cubs
More and more cubs .
Scouts are 200 thousand in Italy and now also open to Islam
Erect a tent and surf the internet. Mending a pair of socks and become a patrol leader. On the way to new adventures and horizons to be discovered, 'diversity' to be appreciated, cavandosela alone. Why 'you learn by doing' and 'good citizens', but 'world citizens' engaged in the life of their country in the name of 'brotherhood of the peoples', it becomes.
They are the 'scout' the new millennium, whose philosophy in more than one hundred years since the founding of the movement , created in 1907 by visionary Baden-Powell, is very timely. Because the educational model of 'guides and explorers 'answers to the discomfort of Today's young people scaling in a strongly therapeutic excesses of contemporary society. And in fact the boy and girl scouts gradually increase, in spite of the growing population of our country. Around a fire and look to new horizons and fly from Islam to Esperanto.
Are forty million around the world. In Italy there are about two hundred thousand, gathered in over twenty associations. "Over the past three years we have begun to move up the china, also because we are reviewing: adapt the spirit of the founder of modern times. And so we grew at a rate of 5% per year, "said Sergio Fiorenza, chief scout of CNGEI , 'National Body scouts and scout Italians' which currently has about 12 thousand subscribers.
"We are in balance, around 178mila members, but if we compare this figure to the resident population in age from 8 to 21 years, then we can claim to be growing, given the decline in birth," confirmed Alberto Fantuzzo, President of ' Agesci , ' Association of Italian Catholic Scouts and Guides'.
"Our goal now is, in the name of secular choice that distinguishes us, which means welcome and recognize the individual as such and its diversity, take a journey together with other groups and find a point of connection with other non-scout recognized and dall'Omms dall'Amge because either born spontaneously or by fission, "says the scout leader, that 'slang' is the highest authority of CNGEI.
Among the groups attention, says Florence, "the Scout Association of Italian Muslims (founded on 11 February 2008, which initiated the first contact) and others as scouts and lay pluriconfessionali Protestant, Jewish ones, the ' Assoraider (the largest association that does not adhere to any national or international organization), the Amis, the ' Assiscout and FIS Raider ".
The reason? "Let me give an example: a conversation with Assoraider Raider and FIS, which was once part of our association, it can become an opportunity for recognition of a different path to our inner experience. They - remember Florence - gave birth to the raider, young people who continue an academic career in a 'draft drawn' even between 19 and 30 years, while we interrupt at 18, when I follow the growth of 'my personal project.' " Maybe even a way to recover and strengthen a segment of CNGEI who lives a small crisis: that of the adult guides (after 19 years), taken by many difficulties and commitments related to higher education and entering the world of work are dwindling.

Benvengano "new" associations, the important thing there is always the spirit of the founder of Scouting: God, fatellanza, service, game, adventure and all those values that help to grow in body and mind.
As I said long ago: I can not understand a "scouting" atheist.
Good hunting, Adriano

I'm an adult Scout CNGEI for 25 years, scout lay by fate (in the country and there was only CNGEI) but also proud of our secularism: open house welcoming all and for all, adults and the commitment to take on just the problems of boys. Today they are a little less, I feel that it will slowly drop to secularism, secularism, perhaps because the more easy and disengaged. Personally I find the relatively steady growth, the data for the calling of national assemblies, which we dropped below 12,000 in 1998 and in 2008 there were 10,930, an increase of 110 after a fall of 100. Certainly the growth could be more substantial, but about 400 were released simultaneously, as well as lack of them, to create new groups or join others, often for the concerns set out above that many of us experience. I know of no data yet this year but I'd be happy to know that we are back to 12,000. And since it's a bit sad if a comparison with: Agesci, ESF and Assoraider, shows that of 1,000 Scouts in 1996 - 57 were CNGEI while we were down in 2008 (unfortunately consistently) at 48. My fear is that now points to walk with those who think like us without any fear of leaving someone on the street "but an elite few?". Rest proud of choice in crisis as secular but CNGEI. Despite this, however, by a more than a month, every day, you find yourself with those who can, to try to reconstruct the group's headquarters with the hope of being ready to go again in October.
Safe journey together

I do not understand why so many are born with religious associations, associations that define open and pluriconfessionali.

Maybe now that the FIS would actually become a federal structure, overcoming the historical barriers and monopolies and opening up to all Italian companies engaged in Scouting following the method of BP, even with its various and often imaginative changes. Surely we would all stand to gain, AGESCI including, and especially the children who still do not understand why the scout must be a brother to every other scout, all over the world, languages, races and religions, excepting with its neighbors who are Scouting the same but belong to another association.

Bring on the trials but I say from experience (50 Winters was born on 31 12 59) and interessandomi lot of rep. with a great passion of pion. if you are reverting to their hands to work with a passion to well done, well thought out and well done by taking the time to do things and not enough time to chase projects proposed by others? I find it increasingly disordered sites, the material is not in place, torn curtains and rabberciate just before leaving for the field angles sq. field to pull up the "Vala that's okay" so long 10 days. Perhaps we should act on this because if eventually there will be only those who think we will not have the habit to do and do well. MAURO (CABINET)

I share the concerns of the previous comments.
What the hell does this little article that has neither head or tail? But what does it mean? It 'a jumble of Baden-Powell Scouting .... What is a simple and clear to those who understand and do not go fishing in troubled waters.
The occasion: the ingenious argument Fantuzzo to overturn a reality marked by the decline in subscribers agesci.Altro that decline in birth rates. It makes me tenderly.
Happy hunting brothers!

Regret that, in the words of the chief scout of CNGEI, do not talk about groped a percordo common with the Federscout, which represents almost all of the independent Italian Scouting ...

A clarification of previous surgery, I had the data to the subscribers CNGEI 2008-09, we went back over the eleven thousand, 11,057 more with a good increase, 2 years running, and resumption of a section that was passed all'Agesci. Good Way to CNGEI and all

@ Adriano
beautiful boiata the "welcome" to new scout associations.
Luckily there were those who believed (in one case, BP), which wanted an association in the country ...

To me it is good that there are scouts Muslims and Buddhists.
I wish they would find place in CNGEI.
However remember that BP has not provided the scouts atheists said that everyone follow his religion, with freedom of choice but to follow.
