Various ways of Scouting

A few days ago I found out that a Jamboree, a gathering of scouts and girl scouts from all over the world, is taking place in South Korea - CLICK .
These events take place every 4 years, but I don't remember them ever being reported in the media.

This time, however, they have a reason - a weather disaster - CLICK.

England, the country that started scouting, was so concerned about the fate of its scouts that it moved them from a tent city to hotels.

Scouts living in air-conditioned hotels?
Extra teams of cleaners to remove rubbish?
It looks that my idea of scouting is totally obsolete.

And at the same time...

  - International Youth Day, which began week ago in Portugal.

It's also very hot there, for this occasion came not some 45,000 people, but one and a half million believers, many of them on foot, and what?
The media reports that "young pilgrims braved intense heat" - CLICK.
Simple like that.

So,  let me ask - who is a better scout?

And in Poland...
August is a month of pilgrimages to the Shrine of Our Lady in Jasna Góra - CLICK.
It culminates with a celebration of The Assumption of Our Lady on 15th of August.
So currently there are over 200 pilgrimages in Poland walking from 200 to 700 kilometres, braving rain, wind and all aspects of capricious weather.

Have a look - I selected just a few, my suggestion - watch just few seconds to get idea of the climate.
- Folk Pilgrimage of mountain People - CLICK.
- and another one - CLICK.
- and more - CLICK.
- and the last one - CLICK.

Amen.
