A few days after the feast of Corpus Christi, Giles wishing that quivers in that great solemnity, the Young Catholic Scouts can also take part in the procession, and in uniform, even to be known by the citizenry. Under the willing hands of ladies and girls, with the help of the same Giles in a couple of days scout uniforms are ready.

Unfortunately, after five years, the decree of dissolution of Scouting that joy soon destroyed, and before the arrogance of the fascist government the Rangers had to put their uniforms.

So February 9, 1927 Giles wrote to his brother John (La Spezia): "You can imagine what impression he made me the news of the dissolution of the Rangers. Admire your fortitude and devotion to the Vicar of Christ , with which you welcomed so painful deliberation. Now, John, joined the Rangers keeping, will be a good Catholic Youth Club and to federate, then keep intact the spirit scautistico, avoiding what could only be contrary to the intentions of the Pope and the rest continue the same activities. So trying to translate into fact the saying: the dress does not make the monaco. ".

While grieving for the closure of the Department scouts, Giles continues to hold "instructions" to animate games, educational activities ... The boys were happy with him, and he resorted for advice, for help.

Military service from '25 to '27, as a sailor, playing a vibrant apostolic work among fellow soldiers.

At 23 Bolles Giles' back to the Father's House "April 25, 1929.

In 1997, the Church recognizes it as Venerable. The Cause of Beatification in Rome is being considered.

Like to think that, perhaps, in its adherence to the Scout is also the intuition of a "street" providential, joyously able to bring young people to the Father ... They seem also addressed to the Heads of Scouting Giles' words: "It is save many souls of children: The guidance for life to our Lord to his heart. It is about giving our youth to Italy tomorrow, strong and pure, intelligent and compassionate, this is the popular Sky Saints . "
