The international group structure added an extra dimension to the experience, helping foster leadership and organisational skills. Each group selected its leader and assigned responsibilities ranging from managing food and arranging campsites to organising daily group feedback discussions – all while staying safe and keeping spirits high. In keeping with the Scout Method, they worked in small teams to encourage collaborative learning, interpersonal skills, and a sense of responsibility and belonging.
Supporting the journeys was a network of more than 1,000 people from local Scout centres and groups, international volunteers, local governments, non-governmental organisations, and sports clubs, all working together to ensure that participants have an unforgettable experience.Â
The paths marked just the first part of the Moot experience. After five days of journeying with their international groups, the Scouts then came together at the main campsite in Cortegaça on the northern coast for more shared experiences and exciting activities as a truly global community.
