 A CHILD'S LIFE IN THIS WORLD. 

 Información sobre Tropa 97 y sobre Scouting

As a child and a scout boy I wanted to play my part in helping my community. This is how I decided to be part of the Ecological Party that our local municipality started back in early 1990's.

It all began by recruiting boys and girls from schools and social group and  societies or the like. I was invited by a classmate and scout friend Pablo. We took part in several initiatives to improve some green areas as well as giving hand with the cleaning of promenade and sea side in playa Los Molinos.

For about 6 months we went every Saturday morning to pick the rubbish gathered by the sea side, let the seaweed cleaned and recuperate some areas among the rocky side.

We also helped at our local river location by taking action in cleaning the rubbish led by visitors. We had a well organized party and had cleaned a big portion under our custody.

Sometimes, we took part along with the local Lutheran chapel and went out in the night to provide a warm beverage plus a nice slide of cake to vagabonds.  We made many friends among them and some even had a name for us 'the scout coffee party'. How I treasure those good old days! Lastly, this is why I decided to become a language teacher, I wanted to help people.

  2. The best thing about those who are scouts is the motivation they have help their environment, it’s fantastic! I can imagine the feeling of satisfaction he felt at having done constant work that led to favorable environmental and social results. It would be great if local municipalities were currently promoting these initiatives today.

  3. Nice history. The scouts from the beggining encourage you to respect nature and the environment and it shows in the actions thay you took. I was a scout but I was not there for long.

  4. When I was a child I always wanted to be a scout, but in my town there wasn´t any groups. Whitout a doubt it is a very sacrificial activity, however I am sure it is worth it.

  5. It is a great experience, I think it is fundamental that there are groups committed to the communities. I believe that caring for the environment is fundamental to generate changes, I am glad that this can involve children, I hope it continues to be replicated today!

  7. It's amazing, I think it's a beautiful job, helping the ecology and also being a child. It's important to be aware of these issues at a young age, to live a life conscious of our impact on nature and these initiatives are wonderful. It's a great story!

  12. Sometimes a lot of people are elusive with needy people on the street, I congratulate you for doing that and I hope you continue to collaborate with the homeless as before. :)

  13. Most of the time, a lot of people throw cigarettes butts to the ground and other garbages, people than don't care about the ecosystem and nature. I'm so glad to know there are persons who contrarrest the bad behavior of some idi*t people and give hope to take care of our planet ♥

  14. I've never saw scout boys in person, I just had heard of them. Be a scout boy sounds fun, I'm not much into the outdoor activities, but I'm not refused to try them. I also like that they care about the environment, I feel that is a thing very important that many people don’t care about.

  15. When I was younger, joining a Scout group attracted my attention, but my parents never left me because they were very overprotective. I find her story interesting, I wish I could have done something like that when I was little.
