Our headquarters is our home. Help us build it!

"Let's build our headquarters, the home of the Góis scouts. Help us create safe and welcoming patrol areas for everyone."

The headquarters of the Góis Scouts is our home , a space where young people grow, learn, explore and build memories that will stay with them for life. To ensure that this space remains safe, functional and welcoming for everyone, we need to carry out a series of fundamental works .

Objective of the Works:
The main objective is to adapt and reorganize the headquarters space so that each division of the group has its own area, enabling organized activities and ensuring comfort and safety for everyone. These works are essential for our headquarters to continue to be a place of growth, learning, and fellowship.

Required Tasks:

Construction of 4 corners for the divisions:

• Each corner will allow different scout groups to have their own space to organize their activities.
• These chants will form the basis for patrol work, promoting collaboration, responsibility, and group identity.

Close walls and open doors:

• It will be necessary to close off some existing walls to effectively define the new corners.
• Strategic doorways designed to ensure practical and safe access between spaces.

Rehabilitation of existing walls:

• It includes thermal insulation and structural reinforcement , ensuring comfort, safety, and durability.
• Repairing cracks, painting, and making necessary adjustments to create a welcoming environment.

Creating new wooden walls:

• Construction of internal partitions that will allow the formation of patrol corners and optimize the available space.
• The wood was chosen for its durability and ease of maintenance , ensuring that the corners remain functional for many years.

Door installation:

• Installation of doors in the new spaces and renovated areas, ensuring privacy, security, and accessibility .

Acquisition of construction materials:

• It includes lumber, doors, insulation, hardware, paint, tools, and other materials needed for all stages of construction.
• These materials are essential to turn the project into reality and allow the scouts to enjoy a suitable and safe space.

Importance for the group and for young people:
The headquarters is not just a building: it's a space for training, learning, and friendship . Every corner, every wall, and every door contributes to enabling scouts to develop skills, experience adventures, and participate in educational and social activities.

How can you help?

• Financial support: for the purchase of materials and coverage of construction costs.

Every contribution is a brick in building the future of the Góis Scouts , allowing our headquarters to continue to be a true home for everyone .

Let's build our headquarters together – our home.
