“Undoubtedly, scouting developed my endurance, creativity, humanity. I still cherish the scout lessons and my own understanding that you have to treat others the way you would like to be treated. And RESPECT! Respect for every single person (whoever he may be), respect for nature and God. These common perceptions are very important, therefore I am convinced that every child must experience at least a couple of years, at least a year or ... one camp, and what survival in nature means. ”

He strongly contributed to the organization and realisation of the centenary events of the Lithuanian Scouting.

"Seeing how the smallest cub scouts try their best to sing along with other scouts, songs which they have never heard, has always brought me to tears. The flag raising ceremonies, singing of the national anthem, a child kneeling on his knee to kiss the flag during his scout promise, the way he tells his parents, about how he is a scout now, and thus will always be prepared to help others - those are the proves, that we do have places in Lithuania where, long-term values are being taught."

“First of all, in this organization I met a young, charming, scurvy girl who later became my wife. We now have two children, the elder of whom is also scouting. Secondly, the organization brought me up - instilled values in me, gave me friends. There was a time when I received a lot, now I realize it’s time to give it to others. Part of my heart will always belong to the scouts and this organization. ”

"This organization fascinates with commonality, instillment of good qualities, ability to educate leaders, independent, critical-thinking people from an early age. Autonomy is very important, as is the ability to feel when help from another is needed. Over a timespan of some years it's fun to see a grown up responsible person, who also knows how to have fun in a meaningful way. ”

He joined the movement in 2011, led by his scouting son.
