Fraternidad de Antiguos Scout y Guias de Uruguay
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.
To develop cultural activities during the march, highlighting the history
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
taking
the necessary steps to create the
Sub Region South América.
