There is always that motivation as a human being that says, ‘I need to do something here…’,’I must help…’, ‘Let me do this…’, and so on. However, for Scouts, this is there anyway, but it is a bit different - it is done with a ‘cheerful and sacrificial heart’ despite the circumstances, living our Promise.

Despite the challenges, the perseverance of our NSO Coordinators throughout the year opened new doors of Scouting opportunities and initiatives. I would like to thank the NSOs, NSO MoP Coordinators, core team members, and of course, our Scouts who are the real Messengers of Peace during this unprecedented time. Furthermore, disasters hit some countries in the region and our Scouts had been faithful in doing their duty to serve their communities. They became frontliners in providing assistance to the victims.
Paul D Parkinson, OAM Member, Regional Decision Committee
National Scout Organizations in our great region delivered innovative services during the pandemic and I am proud to say that our Scouts are always ready to serve.

Wishing you all a happy and fruitful new year! I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been with us in 2020. The pandemic has brought us a lot of challenges, but our adapting capability granted us an advantage to continue Scouting wherever we are. An innovative and digitalized platform has been our tool to keep Scouts active and engage in activities. I am sure all of us are excited on what this year will bring. Although some countries are still on lockdown, travel bans are still enforced, and physical activities are still restricted, our Scouting heart is still looking forward to exciting activities in the open air. I am sure some of us are planning to hold activities we can enjoy together with friends.
The pandemic has brought us a lot of challenges, but our adapting capability granted us an advantage to continue Scouting wherever we are.

manpower, food and relief operations and even providing mental health support. Further, Scouts connected with their friends, relatives, family and colleagues in virtual activities. Details of these stories are featured in our COVID-19 special publications. The pandemic unexpectedly changed our lifestyle and lessened our interaction with friends and colleagues. But it also helped us to be more creative and innovative taking advantage of technological platforms. Virtual events were organized and most became active and engaged in creating community development projects, capacity strengthening trainings and workshops, as well as volunteering in emergencies. I am very pleased that MoP teams in NSOs played a vital role in undertaking relief and community actions during the pandemic. Our sincere gratitude to each of them and particularly our NSO Coordinators for their hard work and commitment. The year 2020 opened doors of various trainings for local leaders, setting the MOP badge criteria and the blue scarf criteria. New Scouts were registered and more inspiring stories were shared in scout.org and in social media.
ed their criteria for Blue Scarf to be given to leaders who will be the peace ambassadors in their community. Trained leaders are rapidly increasing as NSO coordinators organized various trainings locally. The team is now working on organizing more storytelling webinars to educate young people in project writing and storytelling. We believe that these webinars are vital for us to inspire more young people especially with the world connected virtually. Most of us know that numerous projects are yet to be published in the scout.org platform. The team will focus more on this area to ensure that service hours rendered will be counted and recognized. As our way forward for 2021, while the scenario is still uncertain, we are working on the commemoration of ten years of MoP in conjunction with the International Day of Peace. We look forward to bringing the MoP programme to the grassroots. Using a decade of vital experience, we will showcase more projects to pave the way for a new generation of peace messengers. Wishing everyone a better year 2021.
Currently, almost 70% of NSOs have created their Ring Badge criteria and others are coordinating with the MoP team to set-up their own. More than 50% have also creat-

While the year started with great enthusiasm and high spirit, the pandemic forced us to postpone or cancel many projects and initiatives. Most of us were unable to venture to outside activities as we stayed at home for safety. Still, Scouts became frontliners in their communities providing support and assistance to the affected. In addition, various initiatives were done such as volunteering in health sector to ensure

Afghanistan National Scout Organization
Covid-19 Awareness Campaign and Virus Prevention
Afghanistan National Scout Association developed a Covid-19 achievement badge for Scouts which will be awarded to those who will participate in the Covid-19 awareness campaign as well as those who will practice the prevention measures with their families, with women, and their local communities. The project was designed in two phases: (1) Conducting Covid-19 Awareness training for Afghan Girl Scouts and, (2) Scouts Community Outreach – Practicing the Covid-19 Prevention Measures with women in local communities. A total of 64 Scouts and 100

women underwent four training sessions from the last week of August to the first week of September in Herat and Samangan. In addition, 100 hygiene kits were distributed during the training. Trained Scouts started their own community outreach program and introduced the Covid-19 prevention measures to women in their own neighborhood. Throughout this project, 164 families were equipped with knowledge on how to protect themselves and their family members from the Covid-19 disease.
Korea Scout Association
Stronger Network in Scout Troops
Korea Scout Association started to build the fundamental basis of Korean Messengers of Peace network through the MoP project Local Troop Leaders Implementation Workshop. The project aims to have a stronger MoP network by increasing the number of projects and service hours as well as sharing inspiring stories with their local community. To engage more Scouts and introduce them to the Programme, the national team translated MoP materials into the local language. The materials will be available for the Scouts across the country, which include the MoP Guidelines on Programme Network, How to become a Messengers of Peace, MoP Guidelines for Applicants 2017 and Messengers of Peace Identity Guide. In addition, in August 2020, 40 Adult Leaders
participated in a MoP Local Coordinators Workshop where they were expected to re-echo their learning to local troops with 20 members per troop. The training resulted in an increase of Scouts who were introduced to the Messengers of Peace Programme. “I participated at the workshop to gain greater understanding about the MoP program and how to engage this program in my community. The workshop has exceeded my expectation and helped me to gain great understanding of what MoP is and the kind of influence it can bring. Moreover, the workshop taught me how to plan step by step and proceed with the project with the community.” said by Yonghwan Koo, a participant from Daejeon Council.

Back to Basic Webinar Series In November 2020, Messengers of Peace Malaysia held a webinar series “Messengers of Peace - Back to Basic” attended by MoP State Coordinators and MoP Ambassadors, the National Training Team and representatives of the National Programme team. This program provided an opportunity for Scout members and leaders to understand and review the content of the MoP initiative using the Zoom platform and Facebook live. The first session Introduction to Messengers of Peace & How to get started! reflected the event title “Back to Basic”, allowing participants to get a general idea and a glimpse of MoP history.

fight against COVID-19. Mobile Scouting was introduced in four schools for young people to experience Scouting despite the pandemic. All activities observed COVID-19 health protocols. A number of virtual activities were also organized including IDP webinar via Zoom, online photography and short video contest on the theme Shaping Peace Together in the colleges and schools.
Giving tribute and gratitude to frontliners was a way of Bhutan Scouts Association to celebrate the International Day of Peace 2020. IDP brochures were released in schools. Scouts expressed thanksgiving messages and organized role playing on eliminating discrimination and hatred. Pledges on placards were made and posted on social media. Moreover, students and teachers rendered a musical tribute to the King and frontliners for leading the
“In the face of this deadly pandemic, the celebration of IDP in September came as a blessing for us in Bhutan as we fervently awaited the moment to really connect virtually with our friends and leaders. Connecting virtually in Bhutan is still a huge challenge as not many of us have the means to connect online. Furthermore, availability of good network coverage is daunting and intimidating. Nevertheless, the webinar during the IDP celebrations on 21 September gave me so many insights and learnt so many things. Though we may not be able to do this face to face, we can still dream together,” said by Kinzang Dendup, a Rover Scout from Sherubtse College.
Bangladesh Scouts: Launch Ring Badge online
Cambodia Scouts: Contributing to save the planet by planting trees
In celebration of IDP, Cambodia Scouts had a Tree Planting for Environment on 25 September 2020 at Kep province as a way of inspiring others to contribute in saving the planet and understanding the value of peace even during difficult times. At a separate event in Siem Reap Province, Scouts organized a Workshop on MoP Awareness and Tree Planting. Before that, around 130 Scouts organized Riding for Peace in the province. NSO leaders and members of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport officials joined the events.
As a celebration of International Day of Peace 2020, Bangladesh Scouts organized an online Activity Launching and Ring Badge distribution ceremony. The Chief National Commissioner of Bangladesh Scouts launched the ceremony on16 September 2020 via Zoom. Multiple Scout projects were presented and inaugurated. Further, 200 Scouts and Rover Scouts were recognized and awarded the Messengers of Peace Ring Badge for their projects that made valuable contribution to Scouting. Projects include mask distribution, tree plantation, park cleaning project, Smile Bringers Green Marathon, IZHKHIR and Green Planet. More than 500 Scouts participated in the event. Due to the COVID-19, only few projects and

activities were completed locally ensuring proper safety precautions. Most activities were done virtually or at home.

Gerakan Pramuka: 300 Scouts joined virtual peace run To defeat the COVID-19, the government of Indonesia urged its citizens to stay at home and follow health protocols. That did not stop Scouts in Indonesia to celebrate the IDP. Scouts organized a Virtual Peace Run on 27 September 2020 having a total of 300 runners consisting of Rovers, Eagle Scouts and Scout Leaders. The virtual peace run used the Endomondo Application ( a fitness tracker designed for maximum motivation using the mobile phone’s GPS to precisely record distance, pace and more as the person exercises. The app also connects the person to another user) where participants can enter the race at any location and at any pace. Among the 300 runners, a total of 120 finished the three-kilometer run. The NSO also conducted a Short Video Competition where participants promote health protocols to prevent COVID-19 through social media platforms such as Instagram and Tiktok. “We had so much fun, even though this is a virtual event, I can meet Scout friends from all over Indonesia. Virtual Peace Run 2020 is the best.” said Angelica Vega, Rover Scout.
The General Association of the Scouts of China: Sharing goodwill messages For 12 days in September 2020, Scouts actively participated in the celebration of International Day of Peace. They did so by sending and sharing positive messages via social media. The MoP team created the messages and participants passed them to friends and local communities through social media. A total of 21 Scout groups from nine local Scout councils submitted their photos and many groups posted their photos using IDP hashtags in Chinese. “Peace and goodwill have always been an important task in Scouting, and it is our shared responsibility to enable Scouts to contribute to society.” is a statement from National Jhuolan Senior High School.

The Singapore Scouts Association: One Million Tree Movement On 23 September 2020, Scout representatives joined the National Parks Board (NParks) in a sharing session on One Million Tree Movement at East Coast Park. One Million Tree Movement (OMT) is a national project by NParks which key objective is to restore the natural landscape of Singapore through planting young trees across the country. The goal is to have a million new trees planted with the support of the community in the next 10 years. The sharing session includes the area leaders being introduced to OMT and being provided with NParks contacts and knowledge required to plan and organize activities for Scouts who would want to support the movement. NParks also presented opportunities to the Scouts who would be interested in participating in the project. Reference: https://scout.betterworld.sg/ blog/2020/11/one-million-trees/
National Scout Organization of Thailand: Training in communications in vocational skills In partnership with various organizations, Scouts participated in SEPforSDGs organized at Jantasiritvittaya School where participants learned basic skills. Community service activities were conducted with Scouts who passed the Peace Leadership training. A number of Scouts were awarded with tokens and badges as recognition for completing their service hours. Various activities were also conducted at Technology Asia Vocational College including training on communication skills for peace and vocational skills training. The workshop on communication skills aimed to highlight the importance of self-confidence. The other vocational training taught Scouts how to make traditional snacks. Rotary Club of Krungthep Bangluympoo was a partner in these events.

Pathfinder Scouts Vietnam: Training Workshop on Understanding Messengers of Peace After its recognition as the 170th official member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in January 2019, Pathfinder Scouts Vietnam (PSV) has been very active in Scouting activities. One of the expansion activities is the Messengers of Peace Programme (MoP). One of the projects is the Training Workshop on Understanding
Messengers of Peace which aims to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and SDG 4: Quality Education through the introduction of MoP in the country’s sub-regions. Through the project, PSV produced two training materials for Scouts in English and
in the local language. These are Messengers of Peace Guidelines and Understanding UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Training courses were also conducted in November 2019 in two cities – Ha Naoi Capital and Can Tho City. In June 2020, another training workshop was organized in Saigon City and Da Nang City. In December 2020, a training course was held at Buon Ma Thuot City. To maximise these events, MoP training workshops incorporated activities to introduce other programs such as Youth Forum, Adults in Scouting, Membership Growth and Global Support Assessment Tool. A total of 316 Scouts were trained.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some planned trainings were postponed. Alternatively, PSV organized online conferences, distance training and other creative ways to communicate. They also filmed a lecture video as a training tool. “For me, the MOP training course was really amazing and helpful to all Scouts, especially the content of the course. This program can engage not only Scouts but other youth and adults from outside the Scout Movement. It helps us understand more about our community, and find out the way to support, help and contribute to the community through activities”, said by Hoang Duc Lam.
