Riaumont: Difference between revisions

The religious community of Sainte-Croix celebrates the liturgy according to the 1962 form of the Roman Rite, under the provisions of the motu proprio ''Summorum Pontificum''. Its statutes attribute a twofold origin to it: Order of Saint Benedict (the monks are Benedictine Oblates) and the scout movement. The frieze and the dress of ceremony refer to religious military orders. The main symbol is the potencée, distinguished cross of the scouts of France and originating from the cross of kingdom of Jerusalem.

One can see works of the painter there Gerard Ambroselli (in particular a fresco in the vault) but also of the drawings and paintings original of the famous draughtsman and illustrator [[Pierre Joubert (illustrator)|Pierre Joubert]].  Scouting is omnipresent there and three principal buildings shelter these activities:  "Godefroy de Bouillon", "Beaumanoir" and "Cedars".

The pedagogy of the school is presented in the form of a return to the Christian realism, inspired by [[scouting]] founded by [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]].  The teaching objective of the school is to carry out a fully Christian education ' ' taking as a starting point the realism thomist and the pedagogy of scouting ' '.  It is a question of showing, by the practice, the benefits of the traditional scouting which joins again with the wisdom of philosophy Thomas d'Aquin in an original return to reality, by the practice of the campism and manual work.  Concerning pedagogy scoute itself, some compare it to the description given by the historian Jean-Jacques Gauthé in an article of the newspaper ''Le Monde'' of September 2, 1998 entitled ' ' the Little Soldiers of scouting '':  "Defense of the true scouting, since they estimate that this one was denatured by the Scouts de France [...] defense of the true faith through the mass of saint Pie V [...] dispute of the values resulting from the Revolution of 1789 [...] constant references to the counter-revolution of which they marry the topics [...] the values which they defend are those of the "going beyond of oneself" by demanding physical activities, virility sometimes resulting in a paramilitary style [...] the will to form a Catholic elite is manifest"

Stemming from a troop of [[Scouts de France]] in the 1960s, the ''Association des Scouts et Guides de Riaumont'' (Association of the [[Scouting|Scouts]] and [[Girl Guides|Guides]] of Riaumont) passed successively by [[Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe|Scouts d'Europe]], Scouts Saint-George and the Association Française de Scouts et Guides Catholiques. It is today an association affiliated to the [[Eclaireurs Neutres de France]] (ENF), movement of [[Scouting]] founded in 1947, approved by the ministry for Youth and Sports.  Each weekend, as well as at the time of the camp organized in July, the Scout units of Riaumont (willow, wolf cubs, guides, scouts, guides elder and lorry drivers) are opened to the children from outside.  The village has some curiosities which milked with the Scouting, a such monument with the memory of the Scouts who died for France, a "Scout" museum which gathers many badges and parts of uniform resulting from various  associations or, still, various vestments and objects having belonged either to Scout chaplains, or with chaplains of the trenches, lasting it First World War.  In addition, for the researchers and academics, the "Scout laboratory" gathers many works, newspapers and writings various on Scouting (and Indianism of [[Paul Coze]]).
