The coin honours World Scouting and youth movements that promote cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and friendship, since in 2025, the 16th World Scout Moot will be held in Portugal, bringing together scouts aged 18 to 25 from around the world to learn from one another and develop new skills.
The design shows a fleur-de-lis, the most universal symbol of Scouting. Surrounding this central motif are several inscriptions: above, the phrase “Sempre alerta. Sempre pronto” —the two Portuguese translations of Baden-Powell’s motto ‘Be Prepared,’ used by the two major Scouting organizations in Portugal; to the left, the name of the designer; below, the era and issuing country, “Portugal” ; and to the right, the national coat of arms of Portugal, followed by the mintmark “Casa da Moeda”.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag. |
