Dear friends,

our 150 members local area group consists of two cub scouts, two venture scouts, one scout and one ranger troop. They are co-ordinated by 16 scout leaders.

We live in Essen-Überruhr in the ruhr-district which is in western Germany. This area was famous for industries, but now it is changing and there isn’t much industry left.

The godfather of our 21-year-old group is Charles de Foucauld, who lived, after getting a priest, alone with the Tuareg in the Hoggar-mountains (Algeria). He is still a model for a lot of people, because he influenced with living not with preaching his christian faith.

Every year there are a lot of activities and the highlights are the summer-camps. Every group travels on their own. So we got to know something about France, Norway, Finland, Denmark, England, Scotland, Ireland, Benelux, ....

For further information of our group and scouting activities contact our homepage or write us a mail: mail@stamm-cdf.de.

Greetings and Gut Pfad

Yours Charly
