On September 15th and 16th, the Federal Team, working together since 2012, had a wonderful “Thank you weekend” in Natoye, Belgium, welcomed in the place of Deputy Federal Commissioner Renaud Lannoy’s family.

The Federal Bureau, deputies and assistants of the Federal Commissioner started their weekend with a thanksgiving pilgrimage to the Marian Sanctuary Beauraing, a hike in true scout style including a meal cooked on fire.

The weekend was dedicated to moments of sharing memories, conviviality and a review of the work done together and the road travelled together during the last years. The team offered a photo book to Martin Hafner, Federal Commissioner, as a gift and memory for his service to the Union during many years.

Dear Federal team, the whole Union is grateful for work and your tireless commitment to our European fraternity!

We camped together in Rome in 2000!” Mariano said: “Some minutes ago, I saw a scout from Luxemburg with the FSE uniform. So, I came over to see if there is somebody else I know…” Indeed, he was successful. Continue reading

    We have to come back to the chief’s question: “You present yourself to the Road but do you know how the Road presents itself to you?” In the previous article, we have mentioned that it evoked a parable of Jesus about someone who wants to build a tower. We have made the comparison with the construction of your rover life and we said that you need three tools in your virtual rucksack: the religious adviser, the time of prayer and a rover godfather. These tools are necessary but not enough. Continue reading

    I WRITE my notes this month from camp. I hope that many a Scoutmaster will have been able, like me, to take his holiday this year in camp. If he has enjoyed it half as much as I am enjoying mine, he will have done well.

    I am certain that a week or two of such life is the best rest-cure and the best tonic for both mind and body that exists for a man, whether he be boy or old ‘un. Continue reading
