"Create  opportunities for every

 scout and guide to define

 and develop their personal

 spiritual path."

  • What is the meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything?

  • Did you ever talk with your Cub scouts about what we are doing on this planet?

  • How do you answer to a Scout that asks you why he should talk to people?

  • Can you explain, in 30 seconds, the core values of your association?

  • What tools does your association offer on exploring the invisible?

  • How can you get your Rovers to go from thinking to acting?

  • What do you do when a Guide asks you where she will be in 10 years’ time?

We know these are difficult questions, but we are here to support you!

These are all very difficult questions, that are related to the spiritual development of Guides and Scouts. This is a pillar of the Guide and Scout methods, and the responsibility of all leaders, but how do we do this concretely?

All over the world, leaders, adults at local or national level are often struggling with these aspects.

Who we are?

Spiriteco is a network of WOSM/WAGGGS members that supports the development of the spiritual dimension for all, based on the principles and essence of Guiding and Scouting.

Basically, we won’t provide you with answers to all the difficult questions, but we’ll help you find yours!

Our Mission

is to create opportunities for every Guide and Scout to define and develop their personal spiritual path, through support and dialogue that empowers global growth in the spiritual dimension.

Our Vision

By 2023, Spiriteco will be a worldwide connected network with a relevant structure. We will be recognized for our contribution in supporting WOSM/WAGGGS members to provide spiritual development adapted to a changing society. We want to achieve this through advocacy, training, activities and sharing best practice.

What is Spiritual Dimension Anyway?

Spirituality makes us think about ourselves, our lives and our understanding of others. It allows us to build our future and give a meaning to it.

 

Spiritual development helps young people to build a value system, which can be personal or shared with others within a structured religion. It encourages Guides and Scouts to seek their own path.

A bit of History

Spiritual development has always been a part of Guiding and Scouting, but the evolution of our societies has led to many ways to put this in action (or not). As a result of changes, several of associations from Europe came together in 2010 to discuss the way Spiritual development is viewed.

We quickly agreed on our common definition of spiritual development that include both confessional and non- confessional views.

For this reason, we have started a networking group under the label “Spiriteco” which means Spirituality in Esperanto; a symbol of our goal – Spirituality for all.

In more recent years, our network has grown to include new
associations, and we continue to expand.

Spiriteco is currently active at European level.

The network has met regularly over recent years to discuss our vision
for spiritual development and also how to put this vision into action.

  • We have prepared workshops for youths attending international events to help them development in an active way.
  • We have led workshop at Roverway 2012 and 2018 (European event for 16-22 y.o. Guides and Scouts), at the World Jamboree 2015 and at the World Moot 2017 .
  • We have lead training session for leaders in WOSM Academy (European training course on different topics) 2015, 2016 and 2017. We were present with workshop at the European Guides and Scouts Conference 2013 and 2016 and the World Guides Conference 2017…
  • On the 19th of May 2018 Spiriteco became an association settled in Luxembourg and elected its first President and Board.
