  24. ITINERARIES For a shorter tour (one-two days) the tour of the Genoa’s 1 or 2 days fortifications is fantastic, leaving from the center of Genoa and walking on the top of the mount crown around Genoa. The itinerary allows whenever you want to get down to a neighbour of the city, where you can take the bus to the center of the city for coming backto San Desiderio. One of the fortifications from which it is possible to begin a beautiful tour is Forte Sperone. You must go from San Desiderioto the Brignole station by the bus 86, you pass the garden in front of the station walking in the direction of the sea until the bus stop on the big avenue that have 4 lines (Via Cadorna), in west direction. From there you can take the bus number 20 or 30 until Largo Zecca, from where (behind the bus stop) you must get on the funicular Zecca-Righi. At the end of the funicular, you keep the left direction and you continue the road going up. Each crossroad you must follow the main road that goes up. Arrived at the Parco Peralto, after a landing for helicopters, on the right it begins the path to the fortifications (the red line on the map; in purple all the neighbours where it is possible to go down). In alternative it is possible to choose a different tour, the oriental way of the fortifications, arriving with bus number 86 till Borgoratti (via Sapeto), going up till Chiappeto and continuing (line blue on the map) to the Forte Richelieu and Forte Ratti, then finishing your tour in Bavari, from where it is very comfortable to reach up San Desiderio or Pomà.

In particular to Bavari there are various riding-schools for the horses and they are available to host scout in change of their help in the management of the animals. Specific maps for the paths don’t exist. One solution is to give you all the indications by voice and to transcribe it to the boys, giving specific references. Other alternative is to give you the most important directions and then to let the boys ask information to the people they meet (if they want to meet, to speak and to interact with other persons). The places are called Pomà (in case you do not camp here yet, little inhabited village, in the forest), Bavari (in the village, indoor accommodation is the theatre ACLI), Premanico (the indoor accommodation is near the church), Apparizione (the indoor accommodation is near the church), Forte Ratti (indoor accommodation is only in Bavari; you have consider that the fort is an isolated point), Forte Richelieu (indoor accommodation is Chiappeto’s church: isolated near the fort, populated near the church).

In order to visit the Cinque Terre ( www.parconazionale5terre.it) it is better to take the train from Genova Brignole, because the most part of trains do not stop to Genoa Sturla.

  27. EVENTS From 2005, through camps and working camps we hosts during the summer scout groups that help us in the requalification of the forests around San Desiderio, in the maintenance and Work camps implementation of our camping areas, in the cleaning and improvement of the village of San Desiderio and the surrounding environment. The work consist in cutting plants, shrubs and trees, in order to clean up the forest, in cleaning the river, in rebuilding of simple paths between the camping areas and, generally, in the ordinary maintenance of the areas that we have predisposed for the scout hospitality. There’s not a fixed timetable for working during the day and everyone is free to manage his time independently. The C.A.S.T. of San Desiderio offers the presence of its responsible to check and sustain the work (in particular at the beginning and at the end of the camp). We can lend you the bigger and larger tools (after giving a deposit, given back when you give back the tools not damaged), but we ask to carry from your houses obligatorily the working gloves, when it is possible, small tools (i.e. scissors). It is possible to insert your own working performance in a particular ranking that creates a competition between all the groups, participating to the World Cup of the Scout Service ( www.genboree.sandesiderio.com).

  28. The World Cup for the Scout Service is a competition that takes place during all the summer and that rewards the better group that takes part to a work camp in San Desiderio. The idea is born for EVENTS allowing to all those who, not being able to take part in the period of the Olympic Scouting Games, wants however to participate to one international competition. Every group that stays to Saint Desiderio Genboree in whichever period comprised between June and September can take part and can make particular services (cleaning of paths, cleaning of the rivers, painting railings, etc.), getting correspondents scores that insert their group in an appropriate general ranking. The participation happens subdivided in teams of 4 persons. Every group can play with more teams, but the score is not cumulative. The organization of the job and the employed time is free chosen of the participants. At the end, only the job judged completed gets scores. In September who arrives at the end of the competition in summit to the ranking, is automatically the winner of the Scout World Cup, conquering a wonderful prize for their group! ( www.genboree.sandesiderio.com). For the Olympic Scouting Games there are 6 specialities about scouting activities. It is possible to participate alone or in group, small or large. In this way it will be possible that each boy-scout can choose the speciality he prefers, according to his attitudes. The Olympic disciplines are: Orienteering, Skyrunning (running in mountain), Scoutball, Junglecleaning (cleaning the forest), Pathfinding (restyling of paths), Pioneering (woodcrafts). More info on the websitewww.genboree.sandesiderio.com. For being able to guarantee an equilibrated competition and a variety of countries represented, the event will be carried out only if we will get the minimal number of inscriptions by the 1st of June (it is necessary the advance payment of the inscription that attests the registration; in case of cancellation, the money you have paid will be taken off the price of your nights). However, in case there won’t be the Olympic Scouting Games, it always be assured the development of the World Cup for the Scout Service.

  29. EVENTS Because of our scout camp is very large and it is a lot of years that we host hundreds of scouts and we organize international events, it is very easy to meet, above all in the month of July, Twinnings groups from France, Belgium and Italy. Often these groups ask us in the previous months to have contacts of the other scout groups staying in the Spensley Park in the same period, for being able to make a twinning and to share with them the summer activity. Often a lot of them ask us to have contacts of a local, from Genoa or from Liguria scout group. That’s why we propose to all the groups from Liguria to take part to a "welcome camp" in San Desiderio, having the possibility to make a twinning with foreign groups, sharing with them a service experienceand guiding them in the free time discovering the beauties historical, artistic, touristic and gastronomic of Genoa and our region.

  30. F.A.Q. The C.A.S.T. (Culture, Art, hiStory and popular Traditions) of San Desiderio is an association of voluntary service, institutionally outside to the structure of the scout associations, but very tied to Who we are the scout movement having between its founder associates scout in activity, ancient scout and parents of young scout. The CAST is born having the aim to rediscover the culture, the art, the history and the popular traditions, and, above all, having the purpose to create a new spirit of aggregation able to facilitate interactions between the people, the generations and the races, in a European and Mediterranean key. In particular the CAST has realized cultural events for the young people, it has regenerated green areas bringing back them to the public utility, it has been engaged in restyling building of social utility. From the great knowledge of the scout world, of its style, its values, its way of life and having a lot of contacts inside the movement, sharing the same ideals, the CAST has chosen to address its activities to the scout groups offering them hospitality and support in the development of their own activities, and engaging the scouts in service’s opportunity to benefit the territory of San Desiderio.

  31. F.A.Q. The Genboree is the Genoa’s Jamboree, a scout event that celebrates the Olympic Scouting Games and the Scout World Cup, particular competitions typically scout. Usually the real The Genboree Jamboree is an event where Scouts and Guides all over the world make contact each other. Scouting experiences or cultures are exchanged and ideas are shared, thus contributing to the world brotherhood of Scouting. The real Jamboree is the meeting of the Scouts from all over the world and take place every four years. Instead, the Genboree is a simple opportunity for living a little experience similar to the real Jamboree. An event that happens every year and stays alive during the year. Infact our hope is to make San Desiderioa place available every days of the year as a point of meeting for all the scouts from all over the worldthat want to share the scouting spirit with other brothers scout, finding in Genoa a stable meeting’s opportunity. 2004 2005 2006
