What Fundació Escolta Josep Carol does

Fundació Escolta Josep Carol is a non-profit foundation registered in Catalonia, Spain (Generalitat de Catalunya Foundation Registry No. 1306, NIF G-61679049), founded in 1997 and headquartered at C/ Mare de Déu del Pilar 16-18, 08003 Barcelona. The foundation operates as the training, infrastructure, and socio-educational arm of the Catalan scouting federation Escoltes Catalans, organized around three pillars: Education (Escola Forca training school certifying monitors and directors of leisure activities), Action (territory-based socio-educational projects such as the Quico Sabaté program in the Santa Eulàlia neighborhood of l'Hospitalet de Llobregat), and Reflection (knowledge generation and dissemination).

Its core products include Escola Forca (a leisure-educator training school delivering winter, summer, and custom courses through an internal Moodle platform), Acampada (a camping terrain reservation network including Mola d'Amunt – Caixén in Pallars Jussà), Quico Sabaté (TSAE socio-educational accompaniment across 11 schools), Camps de Treball (work camps for community-service learning), Dinamització (community facilitation), and Promoció del Bon Tracte (good-treatment promotion). The technology stack is non-proprietary, built on WordPress, Moodle, GoogleAnalytics, Dropbox, and JotForm, with no AI/ML components.

The foundation generates revenue through three streams: training course fees (Escola Forca), campsite reservation fees (Acampada), and project-based socio-educational services often commissioned by public administrations (e.g., Ajuntament de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat). Distribution relies on direct enrollment via the website, the Escoltes Catalans network across Catalonia, and direct contracting with municipal governments. The organization is governed by a board of trustees (Patronat), is privately held with no parent or VC ownership, and operates with a small team (~10 employees) plus seasonal monitors and interns.
