Appreciation

Postcard of Korea Scout Association

The history of the organization, perceived as a succession of events connected to its life since its inception, constitutes both the collective memory of the Movement and a source of information that ensure the continued existence of its collective identity. -- Scout Boom.Com

5

Scouting’s identity is shaped by events and practices that have constituted its history for a century at local, national and world levels…Scouting’s unity is built on respect for the same fundamental principles wherever it exists. -- Scout Boom.Com

INTRODUCTION The Year 2016 is a time to really celebrate Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region – it’s our 60th year!

This coffee table book has been specially put together to showcase the greatness of Scouting in the AsiaPacific Region from its humble beginnings in 1956 to a vast and dynamic region sixty years later.

Two decades ago, the book Forty Years and Beyond was published in 1996 - produced as a narrative of the Region’s colorful chronology. It featured the highlights of each decade: pioneering years of the 1940s and 50s, planning the 60s, new directions of the 70s, growth in the 80s, and the far-reaching 90s.

In 2006, a second book was produced, 50 Years of Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region, this time featuring the history and growth of National Scout Organizations.

8

This third book is a visual narrative, a mix of the Region’s inspiring past and dynamic present. The theme What is great about Scouting in the Asia-Pacific is the Region’s definition of success, with its undaunted spirit to survive and manage in difficult times and thrive in a world with ever-present challenges.

We dedicate this book to the men and women, Scouts and adult leaders, parents and supporters of Scouting who, in countless ways, are contributing to Scouting’s vibrant presence in the world. We are Creating a Better World.

What is great about Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region

GROWING AND EXPANDING

Pioneering Years Scouting crossed geographic borders in Asia and the Pacific, reaching the shores of Australia and New Zealand in 1908, extending to India in 1909, traversing Malaysia and Singapore in 1910. A year later in 1911, Scouting spread its roots in Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand. The three years that followed, Scouting explored China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, and expanded to Japan, Fiji and the Philippines.

In 1922, Scouting in Japan and Thailand were recognized at the first International Scout

Conference. Decade after decade, Scout associations were welcomed to the world Scouting family. Growth and expansion were inevitable leading to a five-month fact-finding mission to the Far East in 1952 by the Boy Scouts International Bureau and a three-month survey in 1955 in south and south east Asia.

From a small single-room at the Boy Scouts of the Philippines Headquarters in Manila, a coordinated effort began to make Scouting in Asia and the Pacific closely integrated that would soon become the Far East Region (changed to Asia-Pacific Region in 1970).

One million members in 1956 grew steadily to over 30 million in 2016.

STRIVING FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Committee NSO Visit The Regional Scout Committee (2007-2009) introduced the CNV as a formal series of partnership visit to National Scout Organizations. CNV evaluation tools were developed as the main springboard for stimulating discussion with NSOs on eight areas: Constitution, Mission and Vision, Management, Youth Programme, Adults in Scouting, Communication, Resources Development, and Research and Development.

24

Within four years the Regional Committee completed the full cycle of CNV from 2008 to 2012 visiting all 26 NSOs in the Region. The CNV has made it imperative that democracy is important in the management of NSOs as the demand in leadership is higher in terms of greater responsiveness, flexibility, accountability and innovation.

Consultancy

Global Support Assessment Tool

In 2011, the Asia Pacific Region launched a new approach to provide direct services to NSOs in the form of consultancy with national association’s key leaders. Focus areas were derived from the CNV recommendations based on needs perceived to be actual, vital and critical so that tailor-made support could be provided. Consultancy visits covered Pakistan, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Maldives, Brunei Darussalam, Bhutan, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Since the inception of Global Support Assessment Tool (GSAT) in 2012 in Sri Lanka, a series of GSAT exercises were undertaken in many NSOs: Gerakan Pramuka/Indonesia, Sri Lanka Scout Association, Scouts Australia, Boy Scouts of the Philippines, Singapore Scout Association, SCOUTS New Zealand, Korea Scout Association, Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia and Nepal Scouts. Brunei Darussalam hosted the Facilitator’s Training and Nepal Scouts hosted the Assessor’s Training.

GSAT is a common cross-regional assessment that measures compliance with Good Governance principles and quality Scouting across the globe.

It supports NSOs to address their capacity issues and set their priorities.

INVOLVING YOUNG PEOPLE

APR Youth Forum

Young Adult Members Group

The voice of youth airing their views, advocacies and aspirations are what define the Youth Forum. Held every three years a few days before the regional conference, young people of 18-26 years of age meet at the forum, discuss issues, strengthen their skills and capacities, and recommend decisions in various aspects of the organization.

Young Adult Members Group (YAMG) is an operational framework showing the belief in the capability of young people to take responsibilities beyond their national association, offering them the experience to contribute to regional structures.

This is an opportunity for the world Scouting family to listen to young members’ views on issues that concern and affect them locally and globally.

The YAMG chairman becomes a member of the Regional Committee with full voting rights, and the four other members are appointed to a regional sub-committee for a term of three years.

Commencing at the 4th APR Scout Youth Forum held in Brunei Darussalam, young people elect five young persons from among the participants to compose the YAMG.

SERVING COMMUNITIES

Community service Community service is a practical expression of Scouting’s core value – Duty to Others. Service in Scouting is a collective action in response to the needs of the times. Those needs are either immediate or long-term, basic or serious – from personal hygiene to AIDS awareness, from friendly exchanges to cultural integration in conflict areas, from clean up activities to life skills training. While rendering service, young people discover their strengths and potentials, learn more about their communities, understand issues that confront them, work with teams, and acquire new skills.

48

Caring for Nature Nature is integral in Scouting. Scouts are taking active intervention through tree planting, nature conservation and protection.

Since the World Scout Environment Program was formally launched in 2008, the region organizes a workshop almost every year. This stimulates exchange of ideas on environment education and foster new working knowledge for the implementation of the program at national, local and community level.

BANGLADESH

Ticket To Life Ticket to Life is a flagship project of the Scout Movement. This project integrates street children to society through Scouting and this has been piloted in eight countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, and Sri Lanka. As of 2016, almost 900 children have benefited from this project.

This project addresses, through the Scout method, social integration and poverty alleviation of children in difficult circumstances. Long-term goal of this project is to enable around 5,000 children and young people in difficult circumstances between the ages of 11 to 16 years, develop a plan for their lives, prepare them as responsible adults and to have meaningful lives.

With the introduction of Messengers of Peace in 2011, peace initiatives increased tremendously, giving attention to multitude of issues such as environment restoration, cross cultural integration, conflict resolution, disaster rehabilitation and capacity building.

Asia-Pacific has been proactive in the project management of MoP initiatives and in networking. Measured in numerical terms, over 70,000 signed up to the scout.org website, over 12,780 projects have been initiated in many countries, and over 600,000,000 service hours have been rendered for MoP activities.

Emergency Preparedness And Disaster Reduction Timely response during emergencies is a call of service. Scouts are known to extend a helping hand during unfortunate events, oftentimes when disaster strikes. Many countries in Asia-Pacific are vulnerable to natural occurrences, especially those situated in what is known as the ‘Ring of Fire’. In recent years, disasters overwhelmed several

countries in the region, and often tested the Scouts’ sense of duty and ability to act quickly and responsibly.

Scouts render service in relief collection and distribution, rescue, setting up temporary shelters, and even until the rebuilding process, such as coping with trauma, building structures, and emergency preparedness training.

A series of training were held in the Philippines called Disaster Risk Reduction and Management where practical exercises were taught on collapse structure search and rescue, vehicle extrication, sweep water rescue, basic life support and incident command system. The purpose is to introduce the principles of the Scout Emergency Service at home, school, neighbourhood and community.

ENVISIONING THE FUTURE

Having a Vision is a uniting factor in the Asia-Pacific Region with long and short-term strategic plans to support it. Planning has been a consistent process since 1965. When the Strategy for Scouting was adopted by the World Scout Conference in 1988, the region aligned its strategy to the world priorities.

Strategic planning was formalized with the institution of APR Scout Leaders Summit meetings since 1992. Summit meetings became a regular event to decide the region’s vision and triennial plans held at three-year inter vals in between regional conferences.

Representatives of National Scout Organizations – the Chief Commissioner, International Commissioner and Chief Executive – take part in the Summit meeting. In between meetings, members of regional sub-committees work on two cycles of planning: implement the current plan and draft the next triennial plan.

DIVERSIFYING RESOURCES

In the context of Scouting, resources are various form of assets: human, finance, properties, campsites and training centres, Scout shops, and enterpreneurial initiatives among others. Others are in the form of endowment funds such as the Asia-Pacific Scout Foundation and the World Scout Foundation, which through the years, have supported many projects and events in the Region.

64

The APR Scout Foundation was established in 1991 and raised funds in the course of more than twenty years with fund balance of US$ 1.96 million as of September 2016.

The Foundation funded more than a dozen projects and around 50 regional events.

The World Scout Foundation supports large projects such as the Ticket to Life and several countries struck by natural disasters.

ENHANCING IMAGE & VISIBILITY

A common denominator for regional unity and strong cooperation is sustained communications. Through the decades, the region kept the loop of information, exchange and interaction using conventional and social media, and a multitude of events allowing face-to-face interaction, bridging gaps in culture, language and vast distances. Channels of communications are adapted to a changing world and

the growing virtual community.

Cooperation among Scout associations is often expressed by hosting and participating in events, partnerships and exchanges, giving a helping hand in times of need, and enabling emerging and potential countries to join the global family of Scouting.

73

Quality Scouting: Outstanding Scouts The selection of Outstanding Scouts is the epitome of quality Scouting. The triennial search started in 2001 calling for the selection of Outstanding Scouts from nominations by national Scout organizations. The prestigious award is given at regional conferences.

This emphasis on quality enhances Scouting’s image as an educational tool, to provide the models for young people to follow, and to highlight Scouting as an international organization with proven track record as an effective companion of the home, school and the community in the proper upbringing of young people.

IMAGE OF SCOUTING “Of all human endeavors, the most precious is the desire to improve. This desire is behind this revisiting of the image of Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region after eight years. Everybody who is involved in Scouting wants to sustain and improve the Organization —whether volunteer or professional, young or adult, as long as s/he is a member or has been a member of the Organization.

Scouting will not endure for more than a century if it were not desirable, beneficial, worthwhile, and everything that’s good and worth preserving and improving so that it remains relevant to the changing times that – as a respectable organization working in the area of youth education, people in Scouting should respond to the call of society. If they don’t face the needs of society, society will stop turning its face towards Scouting.” - Image Scouting study by the Asia-Pacific Region, 2008

SHARING VALUES WITH PARTNERS

Throughout the decades Scouting in the Region thrived with the support of partner organizations that shared common values with Scouting. These are governments, non-government and civic organizations, business corporations, United Nations agencies, educational institutions and countless communities.

Spirit of goodwill is exchanged in many forms: resources, capacity building and skills transfer, promotion of shared advocacies, joint projects and activities. All exchanges

The year 1959 was the first and rare occasion to host two world events in the same year in the same region.

The World Scout Conference was held in India and the World Scout Jamboree was hosted by the Philippines.

86

World events, in particular the World Scout Conference has reached all strategic corners of Asia and the Pacific starting with south Asia (India) , southeast Asia (Thailand), northeast Asia (Japan and Korea), and Oceania (Australia).

World Scout Jamborees were held in five different countries – Philippines, Japan, Australia, Korea and Thailand, and the World Scout Moot in Taiwan.

APPRECIATION This book is a tribute to all men and women, boys and girls – past and present – who, as a collective whole, are co-creators of the Asia-Pacific Region’s great Scouting history.

Our appreciation goes to volunteers of this region who recommended to produce a sequel of the region’s history, following the Forty Years and Beyond (1996) and the 50 Years of Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region (2006).

Our profound thanks to the Scouting Profile Sub-Committee (2012-2015 and 2015-2018) for their unrelenting support to produce this book. Current Chairman Brata Harbjosubroto, KC Lai, Prabath Kularathna, and Ahmad Sabri Bin Saad, past Scouting Profile Chairman Richard Miller, and Vice-Chairman Chang Ah Sang.

In particular, our appreciation to the Communications Team – Luz Taray for the book’s concept, research and write-up, Theresa Quine for cover design and layout, and Imelda Songco for documentation. Further thanks to the Asia-Pacific Region Directors – S Prassanna Shrivastava, Luz Taray, Syd Castillo, Thian Hiong Boon and Executive Uzair Kamal whose long years of dedicated work and service are reflected in this book.

Our deepest gratitude to volunteers and full-time professionals whose commitment and hardwork paved the way for a dynamic, unified and growing region of Scouting.

Jose Rizal C. Pangilinan Regional Director World Scout Bureau Asia-Pacific Support Centre
