From 2 to 9 August, more than 12.000 Scout Leaders of AGESCI will meet 
together.
AGESCI (Associazione Guide E Scouts Cattolici Italiani = Italian Catholic 
Guides and Scouts Association) is the largest Scout association in Italy, 
with more than 190.000 members, boys, girls and adults.
This meeting, or "Route", as we call it, will mark the time to think about 
what we are doing, and what we want AGESCI to do in the future.
The theme is "Roads and Reflections for Tomorrow".
All leaders will be expected to give their opinion on six main themes, and 
all these contributions will be merged in a final document which will be the 
guiding document of AGESCI in the next millennium.
The first few days (2-5 August) all Leaders will be in small groups of about 
50, hiking all across Italy. These small groups will allow for an easier 
exchange of opinions.
Then, on August 5, all these people will move to Piani di Verteglia (near 
Naples), where all groups will merge their works.
During these days, there will also be many activity points, where each sector 
of AGESCI will show its activities.
We'll show what our Rovers did in Albania and former Yugoslavia, we'll show 
what AGESCI does to help the Scout program in developing countries or 
ex-communist countries, we'll show every achievement and every opportunity 
available.
The GSI (Gruppo Sperimentazione Informatica - Computing Experimentign Task 
Force) will be present, of course.
We'll show the power of computer networks, including the Global Scoutnet and 
the Internet.
