Last weekend the members of the Interreligious Forum of World Scouting (IFoWS) with representatives of CPGS, DESMOS, ICCS, IFJS, IUMS, WBSC, Sikh scouts and LDS scouts came together in Rome for their annual meeting.
We had a very fruitful meeting and discussed among other things:
- How to help and assist NSOs/NSAs to instigate and strengthen the spiritual dimension and the interreligious dialogue within their Youth and Adult programme.
- How to introduce scouting within our communities.
- How to promote the interreligious dialogue both on a local and global basis.
- the Interreligious Badge Programme for Youth and the Interreligious Dialogue Network for Adults in Scouting (Mentors, Facilitators, and Advisors).
- the Faith and Beliefs Zone at the World Scout Jamboree 2019.
A big thanks to Juan Reig as World Scout Committee Liaison and to Göran Hägerdal from the World Scout Bureau for joining and supporting us!
