Scout Week in Taizé

Scout Week in Taizé is a joint venture between the Taize community and the ICCS EM Region.

 A stay at Taizé is an opportunity to experience a simple life shared with others, reminding all that daily life, as it stands, is the place where Christ is waiting.

Scout Week in Taize has been designed to help young leaders in the Scouting view their daily life in the light of the Gospel: praying together three times a day, reflecting on the wellsprings of the faith, exploring the Promise, the Law, and the Principles of Scouting.

Participants of the Scout Week should bring a big openness to the programme. It is important to know that it isn´t possible to have a “normal” Scout camp in Taizé, because it is part of the regular youth meetings of Taizé, which take place every week. Though the programme will be adapted to Scouting.

 “It was a wonderful experience for me as a person, as a christian and as a scout. It was like a trip where I could grow and learn with so many people, many cultures and with time and silence to know me better.” Ema from Portugal
