Scouting, and Spiritual Development This reference document shows how through its principles, method, activities, group life, etc., Scouting creates an atmosphere that is conducive to the search for inner peace and truth.

In view of the widespread indifference to religion and invasive materialism, the importance of this is obvious. More info and download 13.
