The religious aspect

The religious aspect will be present during the whole camp since the Scout of France is a Christian organization.
But actually, it will be more important during the period from August 9th to 16th because will be in a camp with young Nigerians in a place named Birninkonni. We will have to bring our bit during this camp, explaining what it is like to be a Christian in a country where the majority of people are Christians, unlike in their country where people are mostly Islmamists.

So our role in their will be to answer the questions they ask about their country but applying in for France so that we will compare what are the differencies, which are huge as you can guess.
I'm just getting out of a meeting with a priest and we (the 3 of us and the priest) studied a bit the questions. It's way much clearer now and we will go there with some things to say on the topic at least.

I'd like to thank the priest who helped us. Despite his advanced age he was really nice & not at all old-fashionned in his way to think. Moreover he helped us at the last minute, knowing that the priest normally responsible for the scout whole group has disappeared all of sudden. My two friends even waited for him when he had said he would come for an hour. Grrr him!
