Beyond adventure – Guiding and Scouting

Volunteers at German Protestant Kirchentag Every other year numerous VCP Guides and Scouts add a second neckerchief on top of their blue one: they work as volunteers at the German Protestant Kirchentag, a joyful Lay movement offering platforms for intensive discussions and forums for critical debates about present questions. For members of VCP working there as volunteers this is not only a dear tradition but a highly valued honour.

Adventures with a purpose Young Guides and Scouts want to experience as much as possible: by hiking, camping and participating in various other activities, they are gaining these experiences. They are attained through participation in their groups and on solo activities that can be done within Germany as well as internationally. Through their experiences, the young people get to know the world and contribute in the creation of a better one. It is the aim of Guiding and Scouting to help young people to become responsible citizens. For our members democracy and participation mean carrying out their own projects from beginning to end, discovering and trying out new things, understanding how they work and what effects they have. VCP offers them a secure environment to test their abilities, discover their strengths and assume responsibility.

Peace Light from Bethlehem Since 1993 each year during the Advent season Guides and Scouts distribute the peace light: This flame, set alight at Christ’s birthplace Bethlehem, spreads all over the world. The burning candles are signs of hope and peace for all people – regardless of their faith.
