Antonine Sisters School

Groupe Mar Elias – Ghazir, founded in (November 22, 1996 (known as the GME) is part of the Scouts de L'Indépendance Association. Comprising around 150 scouts members, the Group aims to fulfill 5 major goals set forth by the founder of the scouting movement, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. These goals are: character education, health development, development of one's manual ability, search for God, and service of the country. These 5 goals are essential for young people's personal growth into competent and worthy adults. The Group, a crucial member of the ASG family, strives from its own standpoint and in its unique way to involve young scouts in making the World a better place through simple means: woodcraft, camping, raids, sports, outdoor activities, community service, and many others. What makes this Movement unique is its holistic approach to the individual, helping him/her grow in all possible means in a healthy environment.
Our scouts participate in community service. To mention one out of the myriad activities we do :


is an annual food drive we organize at Christmas time.

Our scouts learn teamwork skills. Even the youngest wolf cubs are divided into teams to work effectively together.
Our scouts take over responsibilities. They learn how to be proactive, how to participate in their own self-education, how to take initiatives, and how to make a difference wherever they are. Our scouts feel their attachment to the Earth. They learn to respect nature as they see in it "the work of God". Camps (Christmas break camps, Easter break camps, summer camps, and week-end outings), whether indoors or outdoors, help engrave this aspect in our scouts. Through nature and their attachment to the land, our scouts fasten their roots in their country, our Lebanon. In as much as we cherish the Earth, our limits are as far as the horizon and the sky is the ceiling of our tent as our scouts also start to discover the Creator through His Creation.
