They seem also addressed to the Heads of Scouting Egidio these words: "It is save many souls of children: it is to target them for life to our Lord to His Sacred Heart. It is about giving our youth to Italy tomorrow, strong and pure, intelligent and compassionate, this is the popular Sky Saints . "
