 History of Catholic Scouting - WOSM Spirituality
When I'm asked to explain the difference between the Red Cross and Scouting, I cite a whole series of factors, one of the most important of which is that Scouting is something experienced as a child or adolescent, in other words, at an age when one can still be influenced and marked by one's experiences.
Therefore, to return to my Scouting childhood, I can say that the spiritual dimension came to be from two sides: on the one hand, through contact with nature, and, on the other hand, through the solemnity of the act of making the promise and reciting the law.
Secondly, there are the Scout Organizations in countries that have a majority of Moslems but who are pluralistic, even if they often have a majority of Moslim Scouts among their members.
