A place for Scouts and Guides to follow a work programme based on materials of Christian inspiration, open to all, believers and non-believers, in direct contact with nature, living everyday by themselves, true to the Scout and Guide Method.Within the Montserrat Nature Park, a geologically unique mountain with fascinating natural surroundings, a very interesting cultural centre, an important spiritual sanctuary, and a welcoming monastic community which is closely tied to Catalan Scouting and Guiding from the beginning of this movement in Catalonia. Present at the opening were th chairman of the European Scout Region and representatives from ICCS-EM and ICCG-E, as well Catalan authorities and representatives from both monastic communities of Montserrat.
