LORD BADEN POWELL LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES By Dk. Saakdiah binti Pg. Haji Omar
The Scouts Library had existed informally since 1971 where the items acquired were kept in a corner near the Scouts Shop in the old Scouts Association building known as the ‘Bangunan Pertubuhan Pengakap Negeri Brunei, Jalan Gadong, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam.’ On 3 July 2005 the Scouts Headquarters was declared open by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan and Yang Dipertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam. A special room was provided for the library materials. On 23 Muharram 1427 corresponding to 22 February 2006, the namaing and launching of the Lord Baden Powell Library and Archives was performed by Yang DiMuliakan Pehin Setia Raja Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Mohd Ali bin Awang Haji Mohd Daud, President of the Scouts Association in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Scouts movement in the Asia Pacific region. The boy scouts movement is an active uniformed voluntary organisation based on the scouting knowledge developed by Lord Baden Powell. Thus this library is aptly named after the founder. Lord Baden Powell Library and Archives is under the management of the Headquarters Commissioner assisted by a Library and Archives Committee. The Committee is headed by Yang Mulia Awang Haji Mohd Yussof bin Mohd Salleh as Chairman, Awang Haji Md Said bin Ismail as Vice Chairman, Dayangku Saakdiah binti Pengiran Haji Omar (author) as Secretary and six others. Lord Baden Powell Library and Archives has two categories of materials namely local and foreign containing general reading related to scouting, reports, jamboree magazines from ASEAN and the Asia Pacific region. While the archives contains newspapers, reports on activities, trainings and seminars. There are also collections of photographs, newsletters, and memorabilia. Total collection is 2,000 volumes. The library is open to members, students, undergraduates and researchers. It is open on Mondays to Thursdays and Saturdays from 8.00am to 12.00 noon and from 2.00pm to 4.00pm. On Fridays it opens from 8.00am to 11.45am. Besides the library there is also an exhibition gallery under the purview of the library and Archives Committee. The exhibition valued at BND$21,000 showcases the early days of the scouting in Brunei Darussalam, photographs of activities, memorabilia, scouts uniforms, medals, scarves and badges. It is hoped the Lord Baden Powell Library and Archives will be of benefit to those seeking information on this subject matter. Article translated into English by the Editor
