FIS (Scout Italian Federation) and ARCIGAY (National Lesbian and Gay Association) have met during these days in the spirit of "dare to share" (in the European camp ROVERWAY), in order to stress the common intention to engage against discrimination. If we miss someone, with his/her unicity and difference, we're all poorer, if not everyone is equal for right and opportunities we lost a chance to enlarge our horizons and to tear down false boundaries among people.
We committed ourselves to work in a shared ground on homosexuality, respecting specifities of our educational approaches, leading towards a shared struggle against homophobia and healing the scout spirit of openness. Both organization are committed to proceed further meetings after Roverway.

Lorenzo Maggini - President of CNGEI (National Italian Youth Guide)
Fabio Saccà - Youth Coordinator in ARCIGAY (National Lesbian & Gay Organization)
