O. SUB . U MBRA . FLORE
It was in the year 1987 that I began my work as an adult volunteer serving the Scout Movement. Then began a long journey as a scout leader, a road full of challenges, a lot of learning, acquiring a very strong commitment to contribute to the education of young people and, why not, my satisfaction. Incorporated into my life was a new role that would require me to donate my time, my talent and resources (money) for the benefit of others.

various roles we have in life, balance in the time devoted to each, balanced
World Scout Bureau Interamerican Region
Scouting, I reflect strongly about the importance of “balance”. Balance in the results that are desired during the passage of time. When I started my work as a scout leader, I was at the same time a college student, son, brother and friend. Such were the key roles played then. I knew I could not stand out as scout leader ignoring the good performance as a student, or giving up family life, or surround myself with negative friendships that could have caused me to misuse my time and money. Trying to maintain balance was not just a matter of knowing how to manage the time that was given to each of these roles to achieve the results I craved, but above all was related to an issue of consistency with the values expressed in the Scout Promise and Law. I could not be a “Streetlight and darkness in my house”, as stated in a popular Mexican saying. Often I devoted less time to my parents and brothers and gave it to Scouting or study, which was not right. I had to learn over time that I should give a place to everything and I cannot deliver on a role at the expense of or failure in another. Over the years, as a result of conscious decision-making, I started playing other roles as husband, father and professional scout. I know the importance of maintaining the balance between each of them, not allowing, for example, work to overshadow my effort to be a good husband and a good father. I confess that it was not always easy. Often work had absorbed large amounts of time and attention. However, I have found the key to not separate the roles of each. I’m not one person when I am a father and another when I am a scout professional. My values are exactly the same in either role. My colleagues at work know my wife and my children, and my family knows what my job is and my office mates. This challenge comes to everybody daily and not achieving balance can lead to much frustration. The key is to maintain integrity. Be yourself in any role in life and seek to grant each the necessary time. Important things should take precedence over the urgent things.

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE The general concept of social justice incorporates the idea that inequalities between people do not exis, opportunities are for everyone, from those who live in poverty to those found in wealth. As long as there is no social injustice in the world there will be inequality of opportunity, no freedom of speech, neither access to the basic services that a human being needs.

However, in some cases, this mechanism operates differently, meaning that it produces health problems and, instead of helping, it disables us. What factors can influence a normal, healthy and adaptive mechanism to ceases? Two human emotions are very important as the causes of anxiety: sexuality and aggression. In the analysis that people make of their trouble, they can however generate many reasons that bear no relation to aggressive or sexual desires. Many patients, for example, feel puzzled at the fact that the cause of anxiety arises precisely when they are happier and have come up with the desired achievement. Others blame their state of abandonment of a loved one, bad luck in business, loneliness, adverse environmental or failure of a project.

INTERAMERICAN SCOUT COMMITTEE MEETING


RaĂşl Sanchez, Regional Director World Scout Bureau - Interamerican Region
Last January on 16th and17th members of the Interamerican Scout Committee gathered at the World Scout Bureau - Interamerican Region, Panama City, to conduct its first regular meeting of 2015. Different topics were discussed during this meeting, including the review and approval of the agenda for the forthcoming Interamerican Scout Summit to be held in Cancun, Mexico, from 16th to 18th October 2015. Besides that, a visit from members of the Organizing Committee of the 26th Interamerican Scout Conference, to be held in Houston, USA, in October 2016 was received. They made a complete presentation of the progress in preparations for the largest assembly of the Interamerican Scout Region. The planting of an Olive tree that was brought from Argentina was included as part of the meeting. Several members participated in digging the hole, placing water and finally planting the olive tree. Luis Silvestri brought from his country this small olive tree and explained the significance of the olive tree as a symbol of peace.
The Committee received reports from the Regional Director, which included information on monitoring the Regional Plan, the integration of new staff in the World Scout Bureau - Interamerican Region, the progress on Messengers of Peace projects, the preparation of the upcoming regional events: JamCam in Ecuador and Moot in Peru, the results of the survey conducted among the National Scout Organizations about the service given by the Regional Office, among others. Additionally the report of the Interamerican Scout Foundation was tabled and new board members were elected. The Committee reached important agreements on regional acknowledgment protocols and changes in the dates of the Conference after 2016. It was a very productive meeting where the spirit of teamwork prevailed at all times.
