Description

This identification card of a scout patrol leader is a valuable testimony of the role of the scout movement in the civic and cultural training of Catalan youth during the Franco regime. Despite the repression of the regime, scouting remained active in semi-clandestine or tolerated areas, promoting values ​​such as solidarity, respect for nature, responsibility and service to the community. This document reflects the continuity of an active pedagogy committed to freedom and democracy, and highlights the importance of youth organizations in the construction of an open and participatory Catalan society. It is part of the theme of the “beats of Catalan society” and education as a tool for cultural resistance and citizen training.
