Pierre-François Tuel, one of the leaders within the Scouts et Guides de France of Lisieux (Calvados)notes a decrease in the number of volunteers they supervise. Mid-September 2022there are five items for nearly 90 children.
The young people to follow are between 6 and 17 years old. “According to the wishes and experiences, we go to this or that unit”, explains Pierre-François Tuel. These will be major meetings that take place on average once a month, for half a day, a full day or a weekend. An internship period of one to three weeks will take place in July or August.
“The youngest went around Cormeilles this summer and the middle section went to Paris. The older ones went to Spain. “
BAFA funding
If they don’t already have it, the new volunteer leaders are fully funded for their BAFA, Brevet d’Aptitude aux Functions d’Animateur, a state-recognized degree. “The Scouts et Guides de France association pays 70%, the CAF and the Normandy region in full”, says Pierre-François Tuel.
“Young chefs don’t have to pay a single euro to fund their BAFAs. “
–“The education of young people by young people”
If the group of Scouts and Guides of France in Lisieux does not find a sufficient number of volunteer leaders, parents will be asked to participate in the supervision. “But that’s not what we want, because the aim of scouting is the education of young people by young people”, says Pierre-François Tuel. “However, we are not just looking for young people. ”
No obligation to have been a scout.
«It is a Catholic association, open to all. An openness to spirituality is needed. We have masses. “
Next exits
The Lisieux group of Scouts and Guides of France will be present at the Lisieux market on Saturday 8 October 2022 in the morning to sell, as every year, its calendars, and to make itself known and finance its activities.
Previously, at the end of September, a back-to-school weekend would take place in Saint-André-d’Hébertot, near Pont-l’Evêque, which will allow for meetings between the scouts. It will be a weekend camping, in a tent, with each unit preparing the food and washing the dishes. For this occasion, games and a vigil are planned.
Next summer all units will go to the camp but the destinations are not yet known. In the meantime, various excursions will take place within a radius of about forty kilometers around Lisieux.
