PROJECT

The first major international and intercontinental project was the realization of a march following the Camino

de Santiago, between 11 and 25 July 2015. We left Uruguay on July 11 to Porto (Portugal).

There we were received by the Scout brothers of the Fraternity Nuno Alvares, from the Association of Scouts of

Portugal. During the stay three of our companions renewed the Scout Promise and one took the Scout Promise,

in the Grijó Monastery of Vila Nova de Gaia. Then we move to Valença do Minho to start walking from the 15th

to Santiago de Compostela.

The objectives we set were the following:

Bring the Scouts closer to a common international relationship activity to practice and share Scout values.

To give visibility to the Scout Adults seeking to motivate the adhesion of new that unites Uruguayan society to the

countries visited and the social values we share. members.

We started to fulfill the project to grow to become a full member of the ISGF. In this context we are about to create a Guild in the Department of Maldonado (2016)

We continue to be permanently available to support the resolution of crisis situations. The most recent were a tornado

in the city of Dolores (2016) and floods along the coast of the Uruguay River (2017).

Another aspect of the growth was the concurrence to a subregional meeting in Córdoba, Argentina (2015). We are
