The International Link of Orthodox Scouts (DESMOS) was born in June 1997, at the holy site of the Penteli Monastery in Athens, Greece. Its founding expressed our a sincere desire to contribute to the spiritual development of Orthodox Christian Scouts, by helping then to sense the importance of Duty to God and to understand the essentials of B-P's original spiritual vision.
