Scouting in Sants–Les Corts

Agrupament Escolta Estrella del Mar is a youth education and scouting group based in Barcelona's Sants–Les Corts neighborhood. It brings together children and young people ages 5 to 17 and organizes activities throughout the school year.

Each age branch also takes two outings per trimester, with an annual trip to Montserrat and another outing with parents.

Age groups

Participants are divided into five groups, each with its own shirt color:

• Castors i Llúdrigues (Beavers and Otters): ages 5–8, orange
• Llops i Daines (Wolves and Does): ages 8–11, yellow
• Ràngers i Noies Guia (Rangers and Girl Guides): ages 11–14, blue

History

The group was founded by the Capuchin Sisters of the Mother of the Divine Shepherd during the 1968–69 school year, initially for girls only and in connection with Josep Tous School. It later opened to boys and to the neighborhood. The group was affiliated with Minyons Escoltes i Guies Sant Jordi until that relationship ended in the 1990s; it has not belonged to a federation since. In the 1998–99 school year, it moved to the parish of Santa Tecla, where it is still based. The Castors branch opened in 2001–02.

Meeting place and contact

The headquarters are at 107 Avinguda de Madrid, in the basement of Santa Tecla Parish, in Barcelona's Sants–Les Corts neighborhood, 08028 Barcelona.
