Go into the deep based on the papal encyclical letter “Caritas Deus est” and Spe salvi”. (God is love and Salvific Hope.) It expresses in each activity by the process as the gospel taught us “to come meet each other and be friends through activities of caring, love and exchanging scouting
skills to become leaders of more young people and foster each other’s life to the completion of truth, goodness and beauty.
