Scout in exhibition - 70 years of secular scouting in Brianza

Scout in exhibition

In the municipality of Cesano Maderno (Province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy), the Disarò Auditorium hosts "Scout in exhibition", the exhibition with which the local section of the CNGEI (National Corps of Italian Boy Scouts and Girl Guides) celebrates seventy years of secular scouting in Brianza, from 1956 to 2026.

Seventy years of history through images

The photographic exhibition documents the history of the association through archive images and documents, retracing seven decades of camps, adventures, and educational commitment. It is a journey into the memory of generations of scouts who, in Cesano Maderno and Brianza, have made secular scouting a school of values, autonomy, and citizenship.

A program of events

"Scout in exhibition" is not just an exhibition: the program includes the presentation of a book dedicated to Agostino Andermark, a central figure in local scouting, a debate on the contemporary role of scouting, and events designed for children, such as animated readings in the Municipal Library inspired by The Jungle Book. The celebrations conclude with a duck race on the Seveso river, in memory of Giovanna Barindelli. An opportunity to discover a piece of educational and associative history of the Brianza region.

Secular scouting in Brianza

The CNGEI represents the secular and non-denominational component of Italian scouting, and its presence in Cesano Maderno since 1956 testifies to a history of educational commitment that spans entire generations. For seventy years, boys and girls have experienced outdoor life, autonomy, respect for nature, and active citizenship, according to a method that focuses on "knowing how to do" and taking responsibility. The exhibition celebrates this journey by showcasing, through photographs and documents, the face of an educational community that has left a profound mark on the social fabric of the city and the Brianza region.
