BRAZIL

Citizens in the favelas Brazilian Scouts explored the human aspect of sustainable development by trying to improve the living conditions of people in the favelas (shanty-towns) of Sรฃo Paulo. The Uniรฃo Escoteiros do Brasil (the Brazilian Scouts Association) joined with the Sรฃo Paulo Society for the Development of Scouting to build a sport, cultural and leisure centre. This type of community centre offers excellent opportunities to develop socio-educational activities for young people in the area. As a result, even if people live in the favelas, they can feel a little more like citizens and have a little more dignity.

THE MISSION OF SCOUTING Scouting has a clear implication for development: โ ข To involve young people throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process โ ข To use a speci๏ฌ c method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her own development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person.

CANADA AND SOUTH AFRICA

Observing climate change

SCOUTS AND THE ECONOMY

Climate change and its negative impact on the earth motivated Canadian Scouts and the South African Scout Association to

Article 9 of the Scout Law clearly states: โ A Scout is thriftyโ . This inspires a form of individual and collective behaviour that seeks simplicity in needs and means. But how can the appeal of consumption be resisted?

develop, test and implement an innovative and highly adaptable programme dealing with environmental problems. Designed with the help of the Canadian International Development Agency and the Delphi group, the programme, which includes the introduction of a new badge, is being run for Cubs, Scouts and Venturers and focuses on energy conservation and adapting to the local effects of climate change.

THE MILLENNIUM GOALS: 8 KEY DEVELOPMENT AREAS 189 Member States signed resolution 55/2 during the 55th session of the United Nations General Assembly (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Millennium Summitâ&#x20AC;?).

Their joint Millennium Declaration recognised their duty â&#x20AC;&#x153;to all the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, especially

the most vulnerable and, in particular, the children of the world, to whom the future belongsâ&#x20AC;?.

MAIN GUEST

The plan for the implementation of the UN Millennium Development Goals was adopted in September 2001.22 They are listed one by one but should not be regarded as problems to be resolved individually. On the contrary, they interact with each other, as the Millennium Goals are part of an overall action plan and include the idea of rethinking the meaning and direction of development.

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger: the level of world poverty is decreasing, especially in Asia. In contrast, millions of people have sunk into abject poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where the poor are becoming ever poorer.

2. Achieve universal primary education: ďŹ ve developing regions have almost achieved universal education. In sub-Saharan Africa, less than two-thirds of children go to primary school.

Other regions, in particular Southern Asia and the PaciďŹ c, still have a long way to go, especially in implementing an education policy to keep children at school and offer them a decent education.

gradually diminishing. But, in almost all developing regions, fewer women than men have jobs.

And even when they ďŹ nd a job, it is insecure and badly paid. In addition, throughout the world, only 16% of women have been elected into parliaments.

4. Reduce child mortality: the mortality rate of children under the age of ďŹ ve is decreasing, but the number of avoidable deaths is still 3,000 per day (i.e., one million per year). All that is needed is to expand existing low-cost programmes.

5. Improve maternal health: more than half a million women die during pregnancy or childbirth. Progress is non-existent in those countries in which procreation is the most hazardous (sub-Saharan Africa).

6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases: AIDS is the main cause of premature death in sub-Saharan Africa. It is spreading at an alarming rate in the European countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. As for malaria, 90% of the one million deaths per year from this disease are recorded in sub-Saharan Africa.

7. Ensure environmental sustainability: in order to reverse the trend in the depletion of natural resources, the condition of poor people, whose livelihood is often linked to the resources of their environment, must be improved. Drinking water has become more accessible but half the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population has neither toilets nor other sanitation facilities.

8. Develop a global partnership for development: developing countries must make a considerable effort with a view not only to obtaining debt relief but also further opening for trade, technology transferral and improved employment opportunities for young people. www.millenniumcampaign.org www.millenniumcampaign.org/youth

YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE MILLENNIUM CAMPAIGN The World Organization of the Scout Movement offers two ways to become involved in the Millennium Campaign and help to achieve its goals.

The Youth of the World Campaign developed with other organisations to educate and mobilise young people to carry out projects as part of the Millennium Campaign. It is targeted at young people aged between 15 and 26, both Scouts and non-Scouts, who wish to contribute towards building a better world.

The Scouts of the World Award, which concerns the Rover Scout section. This award conďŹ rms a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to become aware of global issues and to acquire the necessary experience and skills to become a citizen of the world.

The young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities are based on universal values such as freedom, tolerance, equality, a respect for nature, and shared responsibility.

This award is also open to non-Scouts aged between 18 and 22. It can be obtained once they have passed the following two stages: -

Scouts of the World Discovery: an adventure lasting several days, with an emphasis on the environment, development or peace;

-

Scouts of the World Voluntary Service: taking part for at least two weeks in an ongoing project run by an organisation, or in developing a project with a group of friends.

The Unionist Guides and Scouts of France (EEUdF), the Protestant branch of French Scouting, has always wanted to educate its members about ecological citizenship. Their action is based on a life philosophy called Simple Living, which offers to improve the quality of life by simplifying daily needs. Far from the tumult of a consumerist society, the EEUdF wants to create and build new forms of growth, and new models of relationships with other people and with nature.

According to the EEUdF, the duty of educational movements is to train children and young people to become actors for sustainable development. They believe that, through activities in the great outdoors, Scouting should be at the centre of a process of change, involving two educational challenges.

The ďŹ rst is to make young people and adults in the Movement aware of environmental protection. In concrete terms, this involves explaining concepts, issues and facts relating to the environment to campers so as to broaden their minds. The Scout Movement has many educational tools at its disposal to do so.

The second challenge relates to action.

The goal is for young people to respect nature through their behaviour and, over and above respect, for them to take direct action that will improve the environment. This involves eco-friendly camp amenities and responsible behaviour in everyday life.

The EEUdF has just published Ecolo Camp, an educational guide for camp leaders. It is a compilation of best practices involving simple measures that have been encountered in the various regions of the Movement.

A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS GLOBALISATION Young people who are concerned about globalisation want to be involved in thinking about it.

Certain political decision-making bodies understand this, such as the Council of Europe, which is taking this into account in its youth policies.

Today, youth policies represent an important part of the Council of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. The Council invited four-hundred young representatives from youth organisations throughout Europe and other continents to Strasbourg from 6th to 8th May 2004 to consider the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Europe, youth and globalisation: How big is your world?â&#x20AC;? The report 3 on this conference emphasises the fact that young people are calling into question certain models of society, as well as the fact that they want to live in a more sensitive and human world and to build new political commitments. Young people believe that Europe needs to return to a more realistic policy, supportive of change, which must come up with new rules of governance based on individual responsibility.

WHAT IS GLOCALISATION? According to Roland Robertson, a sociologist at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, â&#x20AC;&#x153;glocalâ&#x20AC;? entails a more complex vision than â&#x20AC;&#x153;globalisationâ&#x20AC;?, a phenomenon which has until now been considered only in economic terms, leaving its social and cultural importance to one side. For this researcher, the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;glocalisationâ&#x20AC;? has the beneďŹ t of restoring multi-dimensional reality to globalisation. At the same time, in his opinion, the mix of global and local should help to prevent the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;localâ&#x20AC;? from only deďŹ ning an identifying concept, the comfortable and safe â&#x20AC;&#x153;at homeâ&#x20AC;?, compared with the chaos of modernity considered to be both diversifying and â&#x20AC;&#x153;homologousâ&#x20AC;?.

In this sense, â&#x20AC;&#x153;glocalisationâ&#x20AC;? is a form of globalisation that sets itself limits, and that must adapt to local realities within which it is understood that action is required at global level to advance the â&#x20AC;&#x153;localâ&#x20AC;? cause. The famous saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;think globally, act locallyâ&#x20AC;? can readily be applied to the Scout Movement, which is truly glocal. It recognises that it has a global responsibility whilst having the ability to act at a local level at the same time

THE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT VILLAGE The birth of the Global Development Village 7 (GDV) in 1992 was an important innovation in the history of World Scout Jamborees. The GDV is organised as a real village with a central square. The Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partners put on workshops and exhibitions devoted to one of the topics for reďŹ&#x201A;ection (education, environment, health, human rights, etc.) in each of the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main streets. The GDV is a space for activities whose goal is to make young people more aware of the problems of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, to invite them to discover how Scouts can help solve them and to learn concrete skills which can be used for this purpose within their own communities.

UNITED KINGDOM

Better Global Awareness In conjunction with the National Association of Young Farmers, the Scout Association of the United Kingdom launched the GAPP (Global Awareness Partnership Project), at the World Scout Jamboree in Chile in 1998. Supported by the Ministry of Education and Employment, this programme was intended to increase adolescentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; global awareness and knowledge of international issues by dealing with subjects connected with the environment and globalisation using the dynamic of peer groups. Encouraging young people to play a more active role in decision-making and managing these types of projects has increased the success and development of educating young people about globalisation. This project and its method of implementation are now applied by other Scout Associations.

As one of the ďŹ rst rights of access to information, the World Organization of the Scout Movement is trying to create alternative communication systems for those who cannot access electronic communication systems, in order to overcome the technological gap. Whether it is a matter of using ham radios in Africa, or of promoting alternative open source software, the key is to reduce inequalities related to media use from country to country and to lessen the effect of monopolies.

Fair trade As part of a cooperation project, five senior French Scouts visited to KpalimĂŠ, Togo, in 2005 to analyse and learn about how free trade was working. This had been set up by the local farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organisation, which wanted to use this dynamic to develop the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. During their three-week stay, the measures necessary to optimize the system became clear. They were: to expand the markets for, and to increase the return on, the production of dried fruits from commodities such as pineapples, mangos and bananas. The income from fair trade has already enabled eleven schools to be built and tracks in several villages to be renovated.

c c

Bahadurpur, in Bangladesh, is a good example of a village in which senior Scouts have achieved social and economic changes. They have done a lot for the community: built schools and roads, and reduced health hazards.

So it is not surprising that the local population has given it a new name as a sign of gratitude: Rover Poly, which means the â&#x20AC;&#x153;senior Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s villageâ&#x20AC;?. The young people of the vil9+ Â? >6:4 + ),5( lage have learnt how to assess the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and how to transform and maintain a self-sufďŹ cient local economy and build houses with better sanitation.

In 1978, when the project ďŹ rst began, the senior Scouts realised that in order to make social and economic changes, they had to identify the areas which needed help most urgently and to work to improve them. These ďŹ elds were teaching, sanitation, clean water, health care and diversiďŹ cation of income sources.

The village now has a population of 5,000, twice what it was twenty years ago. As a result of the involvement of the senior Scouts, who built schools and a college, the literacy rate is now 90%. Development of the village | |

infrastructure has enabled every house to have clean water, through building a well and installing uncontaminated pipes and waterproof latrines. The village is now more accessible following the construction of several roads.

WORLD SCOUTING AND THE ILO WORK HAND IN HAND AGAINST CHILD LABOUR Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2004 by WOSM and the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), several projects have begun, in particular in Kenya, El Salvador and Egypt. In addition, three new initiatives were launched in 2006: an education and awareness project relating to child labour for employers and parents; a Scout programme for children in Pakistan; and the implementation of the SCREAM programme in Zambia and Uganda. IPEC launched a new initiative: â&#x20AC;&#x153;SCREAMâ&#x20AC;?: 8 Stop Child Labour. This programme focuses on education and social mobilization, with the aim of helping those responsible for education throughout the world to improve young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding and awareness about childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights. SCREAM primarily relies on the visual arts, literature and theatre. Scouts in Morocco, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon have been introduced to its methodology. Lastly on the 12th June 2006, the World Day Against Child Labour was jointly celebrated by Juan Somavia, Director-General of ILO and Eduardo Missoni, Secretary General of WOSM. Â? >6:4 :905(;/ ;=

THE ROMANY PEOPLE

On the way to integration In Slovakia, the Scout Movement is working to combat the social exclusion of Romany children. But although Romany Scouting in Slovakia has had some success, it has also encountered many problems and challenges, especially those associated with prejudice. Adapted to the reality of their community, the initiatives of Romany Scouts use every experience to develop as a strong and reliable force for young people. Transnational by nature, the Romany people are not bound by borders, a fact which the Romany youth participating in their first Jamboree were able to share in Serbia in July 2004. For them, this was an opportunity to teach others about their relatively little-known culture.

HONG KONG

All my y Scouts are in prison… p In 1986, Herman Hui, the current Chairman of the World Scout Committee, had the idea of providing young prisoners in Hong Kong with Scout uniforms, “to help them change their values and become citizens in their own right”. By providing them, including those who didn’t become Scouts, with the same clothes, the detainees started to feel like “brothers”, which greatly improved the atmosphere in the prison. The young people were able to make contact with the outside world through group activities and orchestras organised by Herman Hui. In twenty years, 2,500 detainees have benefited from the contribution of Scouting’s educational method.

When the Scouts met Ali he was 14 and living with his 80-year-old Grandmother in Alexandria, Egypt who could no longer cope on her own. His parents and brothers and sisters were living in a rural village a long way away so Ali hadn’t seen them for more than one year...

A typical day for Ali begins at 4am when he walks half a kilometre to get the water for the day and a :*6<;05. >6:4 >693+ loaf of bread for his grandmother.

This must be done before he starts work at 6am at a metal shop on the other side of the district, taking him about 45 minutes by foot to get there.

Child labour laws in Egypt state that working children must be fed on arrival at work, but most employers don’t comply. Unlike many of the other employers in the district, Ali’s boss insists that his workers get a cup of milk and a piece of bread with meat strew, so in this instance, he is very lucky.

It was Mr Hassan, Ali’s boss that was first approached by the Sea Scouts. He was shown a letter from the local mayor that outlined the needs of working children in the area, and explained ways in which he could help. | |

With the support of his employer, Ali and the other child workers were able to have a weekly schooling session on a Sunday from 9am to 4pm hours, where a variety of activities took place. The program offered social care, literacy classes, health care, cultural activities, music, technical skills, vocational training and Scouting activities.

Likewise, employers like Mr Hassan were given a series of training events on topics like occupational health and safety.

More than 2,000 children have now received help from this program, which is successful because of the great volunteerSea Scouts in Alexandria. Not only do they work with the kids, but an element of their success is that they work with the workshop owners, encouraging them to recruit their workers and improve conditions for them.

ACTING FOR A WORLD WITHOUT MINES

,K\JH[PUN MVY WLHJL

In 1997, a group of leaders from the Geneva Scout Association decided to take action to make a greater number of young people aware of the problems of anti-personnel mines. Supported by the World Scout Bureau, the project took on an international dimension. The initiative, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together, We Can Take Action for a World Without Minesâ&#x20AC;?, was launched thanks to an agreement between Handicap International and World Scouting. 5 An educational kit was produced and distributed to all national Scout associations. In this way, the Scout Movement has joined up with the many forces in the international community that are united in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;International Campaign to Ban Landminesâ&#x20AC;? 6, ďŹ nanced by the European Union.

BADEN-POWELL, A SOLDIER TURNED PEACEMAKER While Baden-Powell began public life as a soldier in the British colonial army, he ended it as a champion of peace. Surprised by the speed at which the Scout Movement spread internationally, and struck by the horror of the First World War, the founder of the Scout Movement expressed a universal desire: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that we want in

the world is peace, happiness and prosperity for all. And we can achieve it if all men become friends instead of rivals.â&#x20AC;? 10

THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE MIDDLE EAST

The Peace Cruise Imagine a three-master sailing in the Middle East with a crew of young people from all over the Mediterranean, Israelis and Palestinians, Turks and Cypriots. They are the Sailors for Peace, who took part in a unique project for young people aged between eighteen and twenty-five from youth movements of every type of political and religious persuasion that was organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement in the summer of 1999. Between each stage of their two-week journey, twenty-four participants were given training in subjects such as peace education, conflict resolution, social understanding, intercultural learning, and the techniques of communication and negotiation. More than one-hundred young people took part in the programme, which was designed with the assistance of the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Centre for Applied Studies in International Negotiations in Geneva. The European Union and UNESCO funded the project. Events promoting peace were held at every port of call in Egypt, Israel, near to Gaza, Cyprus, Turkey, and Greece.

EL SALVADOR

Brigades g against g violence The civil war and violence in El Salvador have resulted in an ever-growing number of young people joining gangs. The Scout Association of El Salvador thought that young people needed a better way to express themselves, and so developed the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solidarity Brigadesâ&#x20AC;?. The young people were able to carry out activities based on the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brigadesâ&#x20AC;? at camps organised with the assistance of the Ministry of Education, in a positive environment, which emphasised integration, a team spirit, learning useful skills and community service. These camps became so popular that

The Great Lakes is a vast region in the heart of Africa linking Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo through a common past and future even though they have different traditions, languages and destinies. Amahoro Amani 14 is a project targeted at young people from these three countries, and over the next two years, aims to help them play an essential role in re-establishing peace in the region.

The project, which began in December 2005, is the result of the initiative of the Dialogue of Scouts of the Great Lakes15, and is being carried out in collaboration between the seven Guide and Scout associations of the region, supported by WAGGGS and WOSM. As a result of all the experience that these young people will have, by 2007, 420 community mediators aged between ďŹ fteen and twenty-ďŹ ve will have been trained in how to take action in their communities to prevent, mediate, and resolve conďŹ&#x201A;icts peacefully. Eventually, not less than 21,000 young people will have been trained as â&#x20AC;&#x153;peacemakersâ&#x20AC;?, through peer-to-peer training.

the concept was repeated in schools where young people formed their own â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brigadesâ&#x20AC;?.

These community mediators will be called upon to organise awareness campaigns about peaceful cohabitation and rejection of ethnic prejudices through various activities such as plays, debates, cultural events and sports meetings, supported by a network of trainers throughout the territory.

The ďŹ eld experience gained by these community mediators will be evaluated during the Caravans of Peace, which is scheduled for July 2007 and during the international peace gathering, which will take place in Gitega (Burundi) from 30th July to 6th August 2007 as part of Scoutingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centenary events. For the community mediators, these two events will provide an opportunity to share views about their activities and experiences over the previous two years.

In addition, groups of foreign Guides and Scouts will be invited to share their intercultural experiences.

EDUCATION ACCORDING TO UNESCO Formal education, i.e., a hierarchical, timebased education system, which goes from primary school up to university.

Informal education, i.e., the process by which every individual acquires attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from everyday experience under the inďŹ&#x201A;uences of family, friends and acquaintances, the media and other factors that shape the social environment.

Non-formal education, i.e., educational activity organised outside the ofďŹ cial system, intended for a well-deďŹ ned audience and targeting speciďŹ c educational objectives

SENEGAL

Learning in a comfortable environment Between 2000 and 2005, a group of French and Senegalese Scouts developed a project to help the village of Tobor, Senegal to renovate the old buildings of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s university. They built new facilities, such as toilets and classrooms, so that a modern complex was ready for the start of the school year in 2003. The project also included an exchange programme that enabled the French and Senegalese Scouts to get to know each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultures. Cultural development is the basis of all international cooperation.

This strategic priority is intended to help national Scout organisations respond effectively to the needs of adolescents so as to increase the number of members and the reputation of the Movement as an organisation that can help young people in their transition to adulthood.

THE EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF SCOUTING In 2003, the social research Institute, IARD Franco Brambilla, carried out a study13 of 1,200 Italian Scouts aged between 12 and 16 (girls and boys) who attended four national scout camps. They had to answer a series of questions intended to show the impact of the Scout Movement on young people in terms of values, behaviour, future projections, etc. As a result, it was discovered that 85.2% of them considered friendship to be the most important value while only 6% indicated that wealth was their priority. The next highest values were family (85%), followed by peace (79%). Furthermore, 57.3% thought that war was the most urgent problem to be settled in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, followed by world hunger with 54.1%. Scouting has therefore clearly made its mark. Lastly, it seems that this education system makes them feel optimistic and gives them conďŹ dence in themselves since almost 70% conďŹ rmed that they would make their dreams come true if they had the chance.

Helping young people in the transition from childhood to adulthood has always been at the heart of Scouting, as this is why it was created in the ďŹ rst place. Today, young people have expectations that traditional systems are no longer capable of meeting. Consequently, young people do not always ďŹ nd the support they need as they progress towards adulthood. The ability to respond to these needs is a key factor for the success of the Scout Movement. In some countries however, associations are having difďŹ culty in doing so.

SOLOMON ISLANDS

Renovating a school for the hard of hearing The Solomon Islands have experienced ethnic tension and civil war over the past few years, and this has caused a lot of suffering. A team of Australian Scouts helped with renovating a school, the only one in the country to accept students with hearing difficulties. It is an important institution in the capital, Honiara and is managed by the Red Cross. The Scouts not only improved facilities such as the toilets and the kitchen, but also installed a network of flat-screen computers. Education for all is one of the key objectives the Scout Movement has assigned itself.

To help the wide variety of national and international agencies that are involved in youth development work, there is an advantage in using a common approach on how to determine the content of national youth policies . Here are some suggestions: â&#x20AC;˘ Develop accountable partnerships with all the actors, especially youth networks, nongovernmental youth institutions and organisations. Other non governmental organisations working with young women, particularly girls, young people, their families, governments, international agencies, educational institutions, civil society, the private sector and the media should also be involved, in order to create synergies to respond more effectively to young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems and potential, at both national and local levels; â&#x20AC;˘ Improve access for young people. Through representatives in legislative bodies, in order to involve them more directly in the design, implementation, follow-up, monitoring and evaluation of youth activities and programmes, and to ensure their participation in developing them; â&#x20AC;˘ Give priority to establishing communication channels with young people to let them have their say, at national, regional and international levels, and to give them the information they need to enable them to play an effective role and become leaders.

Growing up in the streets of Nairobi was a constant struggle for young Peter Kariuki, who never knew where his next meal was coming from, nor the luxury of clean clothes and education. Then, one day in 1993, a chance meeting with Scouts changed his life forever. While they were wandering around the streets of Nairobi, Peter and his friends were invited to share a meal in a nearby primary school and very soon a special bond developed between the two groups.

Peter was able to enrol in part of the Extension Programme of the Kenya Scouts Association. This helped Peter to go to the Muthurwa primary school as a student, and then to the Kiriani secondary school where he ďŹ nished his studies in 2003. Thanks to Scouting, Peter learnt, and taught others, that the cycle of poverty can be broken. He even created his own Scout group at secondary school. It was this initiative that saw him become involved in a charity organisation called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Mountainsâ&#x20AC;?, where he works with young street children and their families. In addition, Peter has helped to set up an orphanage in the district of Siaya.

| |

Peter attributes everything he has achieved to meeting Scouts all that time ago. He encourages every child he meets, in particular those he meets at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Mountainsâ&#x20AC;?, to join Scouting. He subscribes to the idea of helping disadvantaged children because he undertook to do so in the Scout Promise. When he is asked how he is able to manage all his commitments, Peter says that he always remembers what he learned in Scouting about time management. He is now the manager of a tour operator company called AfriCampus, which organises safaris and employs nine people full-time and several workers part-time. They, too, beneďŹ ted from the Extension Programme.

The city of Nairobi has over 60,000 street children and up to now, the Kenya Scouts have enrolled more than 1,200 Scouts in the Extension Programme. Thirteen years on, Peter claims that Scouting saved his life, and that all the opportunities he has had so far, would not have been possible without it. He adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scoutingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Extension Programme is a good example of the Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true spiritâ&#x20AC;?

Nearly one quarter of the girls surveyed say that they know someone living with the AIDS virus. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can earn the AIDS badge by undertaking activities in three areas: ďŹ ghting fear, shame and injustice; prevention through change in behaviour; and care and support for people living with HIV and AIDS. WAGGGS is building a strong partnership with UNAIDS to have an even greater impact on preventing HIV and AIDS among young people.

89% of girls surveyed believe that young people are told how to keep healthy but 54% responded by saying that people chose not to eat healthy food. WAGGGS works closely with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This survey has shown that girls want the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to continue to provide advice on a healthy diet.

Preventing teenage pregnancy 80% of girls surveyed believe that teenage pregnancy is an issue in their country. 42% of girls and young women want the World Association to launch its own sex education programme, and 39% of those surveyed want to work on this issue at community level. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is therefore invited to continue promoting access to education and information about sexual and reproductive health.

One third of girls surveyed conďŹ rmed that their parents ďŹ rst told them about sex. However, 38% said that girls receive no sex education at all in their countries. 85% of those surveyed say they would feel more comfortable talking to girls their own age. Peer education is an important part of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting, giving girls and young women the space and the opportunity to make sensible choices and to develop their own values.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about the danger of drugs Over half the girls surveyed believe that young women do not understand the dangers of drug addiction. They therefore request that the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts takes a stand on drugs, and educates young women about the dangers of drug addiction. WAGGGS works closely with the UN OfďŹ ce on Drugs and Crime.

Banning smoking in public places 83% of the girls surveyed worldwide believe that smoking should be banned in all public places.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts must therefore try to inďŹ&#x201A;uence governments and businesses at all levels, using these survey ďŹ ndings to bring in laws banning smoking in public places.

Discover your potential 82% of girls surveyed feel under pressure to look and dress in a certain way. 36% of girls began caring about how they looked before the age of 12.

Friends were listed as the biggest inďŹ&#x201A;uence (39%) on the way young women choose to look. That is why the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts must continue to help them develop self-conďŹ dence and self-esteem.

BRAZIL

Clean teeth for all!

A recent survey showed that, in Brazil, thirty million people have lost their teeth because they were too poor to maintain good oral hygiene. In light of this, the Brazilian Scouts have launched a national campaign to improve basic dental care. In order to fight the alienation affecting several of these poor families due to the fact that they had no access to dental care, the Scouts identified the communities in need, and provided them with structured information on inexpensive basic dental care.

For nearly 15 years the policy of the World Organization of the Scout Movement - which is the authority responsible for the World Scout Jamboree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been to hand out free condoms in the health centres set up for the event, to all participants that may request them.

The ďŹ ght against AIDS and the resurgence of sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) prompted WOSM to work closely with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA to set up educational programmes that, on the one hand, contribute to the emotional and sexual education of young people by integrating the emotional development of young people - whether boys or girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, on the other hand, through the prevention of risks linked to sexually transmitted illnesses (see story).

The presence of the Scout Movement in many countries affected by STIs has naturally led national Scout organisations to include this problem into their educational programmes.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION/UNICEF

Young people talking to young people Having a real impact on young people with regard to prevention and health is not an easy task. That is why 240 young leaders from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and the Sultanate of Oman have been trained to educate their peers on sensitive topics such as the AIDS virus, drug abuse and injury. This project saw the light of day thanks to the establishment of a strategic alliance with the World Health Organization (WHO). Some individual projects had already been set up in the past few years thanks to partnerships with UN agencies such as UNICEF, UNESCO and UNHCR. In Oman, the Ministry of Health has opted for a solution of peer-to-peer AIDS education. It has entrusted this mission to the National Organisation for Scouts and Guides. Today, thousands of young Scouts and Guides are expanding their health knowledge through computer programmes and question-and-answer sessions. This programme is supported by UNICEF, which is in charge of the media coverage.

As Edi Darmadi, a 19-year old engineering student and a member of his universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rover Scout group, was watching the consequences of the earthquake and the tsunami on television with horror, he knew that he had to do something. He put on his uniform, climbed on his motorcycle and headed straight to the local Scout ofďŹ ce.

AFRICA

Youth AIDS Prevention Forum Creating a synergy between youth organisations and specialized bodies in order to be better equipped to fight AIDS in Africa, was the challenge of the Pan-African Youth Forum called â&#x20AC;&#x153;AIDS: A Question of Educationâ&#x20AC;?, that took place in Dakar, in March 2004, at the invitation of the President of the Republic of Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade. The event involved close to 220 young members from the largest global youth organisations represented in Africa, and experts from fortyfive African countries in order to devise national plans to fight AIDS together in their respective countries.

In order to ensure the most efficient involvement, a three-stage approach was established.

1. A preparation phase in order to create a partnership with national and international organisations with the aim of developing a common action plan.

2. The strengthening of the alliance between the different partners through the Forum itself 3. A follow-up phase in order to implement the action plan with the technical and financial support of the partners: UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA, Francophonie, CNLS (national councils fighting AIDS) and the World Bank.

The participants themselves devised, refined and developed the joint contribution of their organisations to the national plan to fight AIDS for their respective countries. United by the same ideal of voluntary social engagement and community

As soon as he reached the main door, Edi was astonished to see so many Rover Scouts offering their services as volunteers. He saw Firman and Apriadi, his friends from the Bogor Scout Troop. The Indonesian Scout and Guides Movement was in the process of setting up an emergency camp to relieve the Indonesian Red Cross at Banda Aceh.

Edi began his training. This consisted of a mixture of exhausting physical training, health and vaccine checks, training in health care, and disaster relief.

On 3rd January, as Edi was stepping out of a military vehicle at the small airport of Banda Aceh, Agustamin welcomed him with a handshake and a warm smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you

for coming to help my people!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my people too!â&#x20AC;? said Edi. Agustamin smiled again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Follow me, all of you!â&#x20AC;? The ďŹ rst ďŹ fty Scout volunteers followed Agustamin with their bicycles and their rucksacks and joined the scout camp that was ďŹ ve miles away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working in the temporary camp set up close to the TV station. Four hundred homeless people have taken shelter there.

We need you to organise meals and show people how to put up the tents.â&#x20AC;? The authorities were so impressed with the Scoutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organisational efďŹ ciency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the respect they earned from the homeless people in the camps - that they asked the Scouts to join a larger camp and manage the stocking and distribution of food and medicine that was arriving in chaotic plane-loads.

After two weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service in Aceh, Edi resumed his life in Djakarta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These experiences will stay with me all my life. I am proud of what we achieved in Aceh. Our team really made a difference to the lives of the people thereâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;Śand to our own lives.â&#x20AC;?

SIX CATEGORIES OF CHILDREN TO BE PROTECTED UNICEF has defined six categories of children whose protection is a priority: • Victims of slavery or forced labour: according to the International Labour Organization (ILO)17,218 million children are engaged in child labour, of which 126 million are in hazardous conditions. Approximately 2.5 million of them live in industrialised countries and in those with emerging economies.

• Children without parental care: children separated from their families due to armed conflicts or who have been orphaned by AIDS, find themselves at a higher risk of all forms of abuse as well as being totally deprived of emotional support.

• Victims of child trafficking: for their organs, the sale of young girls listed in catalogues, etc. Estimated number: 1.2 million.

• Child victims of sexual exploitation (estimated number: 1 million): sexual abuse is fuelled by local demand and often by the very people who are closest to the children. Governments and communities are reluctant to intervene in such cases.18

>6:4 4 70,90

• Child soldiers (estimated number: 300,000) who may be as young as 8 years old.

• The victims of corporal punishment who can be found in rich countries as well as in poor countries. In the United Kingdom, babies under one year of age run four times the risk of being killed by their parents than any other age group.

UNITED NATIONS

Study on violence against children What sort of violence are children subjected to throughout the world? How does violence affect children? What can be done to prevent violence? All these questions will be addressed by the report for the United Nations study on violence against children that will be published in October 2006, and to which WOSM contributed. WOSM was part of the group assigned to the drafting of this report and to an educational version aimed at children. The goal of the United Nations study is to help governments and organisations working with children and parents to better understand and fight this phenomenon.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scouting, the school for training leadersâ&#x20AC;?, is the title that was on the cover of one of the most important Swiss economic magazines, Bilanz, last year. This is what also drives entrepreneurs to support the movement, such as Klaus Jacobs, the head of Adecco, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading temporary employment agency. Through his foundation, Klaus Jacobs is ďŹ nancing a major leadershiptraining project in Africa. The business world recognises the added value of Scouting experience, including values such as trust, loyalty and integrity, in the CVs of future leaders. They also recognise the speciďŹ c skills acquired through the Scout method. The prestigious Bocconi University Management School of Milan, in partnership with WOSM, has decided to describe the skills acquired through Scouting during an interactive course on basic management values. This experimental course, which will take place in October 2006, was developed to observe similar experiences in the environment of voluntary organisations. It should result in a mechanism for validating skills. This experiment is similar to the recommendations of the European Union on lifelong training.

Scoutisme Français (the French Scout organisation) is ofďŹ cially recognised by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of Youth and Sports. Its adult leader training courses (the equivalent of the Wood Badge) are ofďŹ cially recognised by the State. The ministry awards trainees an ofďŹ cial certiďŹ cate of competency as a group leader, which opens the doors to every holiday camp and leisure centre in France. This certiďŹ cate has enabled many young people in France to get their ďŹ rst job. As a result of the growing demand for certiďŹ cates of professional qualiďŹ cations by their members, the Scouts and Guides of France (one of the associations within the national organisation) realised there was a need to start work on providing ofďŹ cial recognition of skills and experience. This is a phenomenon that has won over the universities, which are opening their doors to professionals without speciďŹ c qualiďŹ cations who want to validate their practical experience by improving their theoretical knowledge. For the Scouts and Guides of France, it is a matter of thinking more widely about how to develop the skills acquired in the Scout Movement to sustain the commitment of their leaders.

A CALL TO ACTION IN FAVOUR OF YOUNG WOMEN

HOW IS THIS IMPLEMENTED WITHIN SCOUTING?

In 1999, an alliance of those in charge of six largest youth organisations, which includes the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, joined forces in favour of women by publishing a declaration entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young girls

As a society comprising people of both genders, the priority of the Scout Movement is: â&#x20AC;˘ To enable girls and boys to develop to their full potential while respecting individual differences and without limiting themselves to their traditional gender role

ing a stand in relation to the need to develop a youth policy aiming to achieve gender equality in society. It also proposes solutions. First of all, it stresses the extent to which the situation of women in the world still remains objectionable. It is therefore necessary to â&#x20AC;&#x153;demarginaliseâ&#x20AC;? women in the cultural, social, political and economic ďŹ elds. However, we still have a long way to go. Secondly, youth organisations make recommendations. But whom are they addressing? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All those that have inďŹ&#x201A;uence?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;those who take part in the development of youth policies?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And they do not miss their targets because they not only address governments but also nongovernmental organisations, investors, donors, employers and people responsible for education. It is then an opportunity for them to express themselves and comment on improvements to be made with regard to formal education as well as on the advantages that non-formal education offers for the development of women.

MOROCCO

Emancipation requires thought The Hassania Scout Association Morocco has created pilot projects aiming to increase womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in Moroccan social life. On May 26, 2006, the national Scouting day in Morocco, the role of females within the Movement was highlighted. Although girls only represent 30% of the 10,000 members, they are very active. They organise meetings and chair debates on social issues and current events. In doing so, they emphasise womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the development of society.

rule, Scouting was essentially a male occupation. It was only after independence that girls began to join Scouting, an educational movement that tries above all to give equal opportunities to girls and boys alike.

YOUTH INVOLVEMENT IN THE SCOUT MOVEMENT

YOUTH ADVISORS TO THE WORLD SCOUT COMMITTEE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;TO BE A SCOUT IS TO CHANGE THE WORLDâ&#x20AC;?

In 2005, the Forum elected six â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth Advisorsâ&#x20AC;? who, alongside the six chairmen of the Youth regional networks or forums, are directly associated with the work of the World Scout Committee.

A permanent â&#x20AC;&#x153;ScoutPostâ&#x20AC;? forum has been created on the Internet, enabling young members of the World Forum and regional networks or forums to carry on their dialogue between meetings of the World Forum and to contribute to the Youth Advisorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work. We expect this participatory system to enable the World Committee to directly involved young people in its work, and to remain connected with a large network of young people from different regions, in order to better know and understand the aspirations of new generations.

The World Scout Youth forum is an educational event, addressing members of the eldest Scout section in each national Scout association. It takes place just before the World Conference, thus enabling young people to participate in the forum and to be members of a delegation from their national organisation to the World Conference.

The Forum programme enables young people to learn about democratic procedures (debates, the establishment of resolutions and voting) by taking part in the decision-making process, and encourages young people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;share their ideas and

their experiences about real problems affecting young people in different parts of the world; to call for votes to strengthen national youth policies and to prepare young people for global citizenship; and to contribute to the emergence of new ideas that will enrich the educational programmes aimed at young people over 16â&#x20AC;?.

The recommendations voted by the Forum are then presented by youth advisors to the World Scout Committee so that they can be studied and implemented, with a report being made to the World Scout Conference.

WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE

Exploring the invisible The World Scout Jamboree is an exceptional event because it brings together thousands of young people from all over the world every four years. In Thailand, 2003, the World Scout Bureau gave all the participants the option of using a small book entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exploring the invisibleâ&#x20AC;? to accompany them on their spiritual quest. They took this booklet with them when they visited the multi-confessional area, where they were able to learn about the religions and spiritual movements that are part of the diversity found in the Scout Movement.

ITALY

Investing g in ethical financial solutions Banca Etica is the first ethical financial institution in Italy. It was created in 1999, based on MAGs, (self-managed mutual associations) and the result of collaboration between twenty-one non-profit organisations that merged to raise the funds needed to establish a truly popular bank. The Association of Catholic Guides and Scouts of Italy (AGESCI), who was one of its founding members, has a very specific educational objective: to make both Scouts and adult leaders more aware of how to be responsible citizens, use resources more sparingly and take greater care of the environment.

AGESCI has made a remarkable contribution to the development of the project, paying particular attention to the cultural and social aspects of the bank. Today, a large number of AGESCI leaders who supported and spread the values of ethical finance are to be found working in the bank.

10

AGESCI benefits from the services of the bank at both local and

national levels: it has several bank accounts, access to credit to carry out various projects and a membership card assigned to the Association. This is a real credit card that enables part of the commission charged on transactions to be assigned to a non-profit organisation. Lastly, as a founding member, AGESCI can nominate a candidate to the Ethical Committee.

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP IN AFRICAN ASSOCIATIONS Klaus J. Jacobs, a famous businessman who set up the Jacobs Foundation, has had a keen interest in the Scout Movement for many years and has supported some of its projects. He is a member of the World Scout Foundation and is convinced that the Movement can help young people play an active role in building their own futures and in training young leaders capable of taking part in the development and social, cultural and economic progress of their country.

This is why, in 2004, the German-born patron agreed to ďŹ nance the ďŹ rst phase of a pilot project to strengthen youth leadership in Africa, amounting to one million dollars over three years. As a result, the Africa Scout Region was able to launch its project entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training Young Leaders to Ensure the Future of Africaâ&#x20AC;?, in six countries: Burundi, Ethiopia, Gambia, Mauritius, Niger and South Africa.

The objective is an ambitious one, but if it is achieved the project will be extended between now and 2007 to Angola, Rwanda and the Seychelles, and then to Cameroon, Mozambique and Tanzania.

The results of the ďŹ rst phase must be satisfactory for this to happen. The Jacobs Foundation has appointed an external organisation, the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), to proceed with a scientiďŹ c evaluation. The conclusions of the report, which are expected by the end of 2006, will determine the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision as to whether or not it will proceed with ďŹ nancing the whole project over a ten-year period.

The HSRC will evaluate the level attained by the participants on the training programme and determine if their knowledge and leadership skills have improved. So far, the Jacobs Foundation report has already provided a summary of the signiďŹ cant progress recorded in the six pilot countries.11 | |

28 MILLION SCOUTS WORLDWIDE According to the latest count, there are more than 28 million members in 155 national organisations (or 215 countries and territories) grouped into six continental regions that are a reflection of WOSM’S socio-cultural reality. The regional breakdown of membership (in thousands) is: Africa 791, Arab countries 250, Asia-Pacific 18,290 Eurasia 26, Europe 1,500 The Americas 6,400. The 10 million members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can be added to this list because they have the same Law and the same Promise.

KNOWING MORE ABOUT BADEN-POWELL Baden-Powell wrote so much, that one can read about his thoughts on the profound nature of the Scout Movement. He wrote manuals about his method of educating young people and training adult leaders, as well as exciting tales about his adventures, most of which were enhanced with his own drawings.

Two works, to be put in their historical context, are extremely useful to understand his vision: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scouting for Boysâ&#x20AC;? for a young audience, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aids to Scoutmastershipâ&#x20AC;?, for leaders. There is also a collection of quotations â&#x20AC;&#x153;Footsteps of the founderâ&#x20AC;?, put together by Mario Sica. These works are available from the World Scout Shop: www.worldscoutshop.org There is an excellent biography â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baden-Powellâ&#x20AC;?, written by Tim Jeal, Hutchinson, London.

A small group of friends of Scouting, established the World Scout Foundation over twenty ďŹ ve years ago.

Among these friends was His Majesty the King of Sweden, an active former Scout. The Foundation is now supported by over 1,800 friends of Scouting, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baden Powell Fellowsâ&#x20AC;?, who provide ďŹ nancial support and their good name to the cause of young people throughout the world. The Foundation now works as a totally independent, not-for-proďŹ t institution, incorporated under Swiss law, and is based in Switzerland.

Baden-Powell Fellows work closely with His Majesty the King of Sweden to support the development of Scouting in their own countries and in the poorest regions of the world.

Since its inception, the Foundation has built an endowment, valued at over ďŹ fty ďŹ ve million Swiss Francs. It has made grants of over thirty million francs to World Scouting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this | |

means that the World Scout Bureau Head OfďŹ ce receives between 27% and 29% of its annual operational budget from the World Scout Foundation. In addition, the Foundation has contributed millions in the form of project and programme funding over the years.

Most of the resources of the Foundation are raised from personal contributions of Baden Powell Fellows themselves, but increasingly, the Foundation has received grants from governments, corporations and other foundations.

1/ Participation of young people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; revitalising the Scout method The Scout method makes young people the main agent of their own development. It is also this aspect that makes Scouting particularly attractive to young people. However, the Scout method is not always applied in full. Young people are not always properly prepared for gradually taking responsibility and playing an active role.

This strategic priority is intended to support national Scout organisations in revitalising this fundamental aspect of the Movement in order to maintain its appeal and its ability to carry out its mission.

2/ Adolescents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; supporting the transition to adulthood Helping young people in the transition from childhood to adulthood has always been at the heart of Scouting, as this is why it was created in the ďŹ rst place. Today, young people have expectations that traditional systems are no longer capable of meeting. Consequently, they do not always ďŹ nd the support they need as they progress towards adulthood. The ability to respond to these needs is a key factor for the success of the Scout Movement. In some countries, however, associations are having difďŹ culty in doing so.

This strategic priority is intended to help national Scout organisations respond effectively to the needs of adolescents so as to increase the number of members and the reputation of the Movement as an organisation that can help young people in their transition to adulthood

3/ Girls and boys, women and men â&#x20AC;&#x201C; respecting differences, promoting equality and sharing responsibilities As society is made up of people of both sexes, the Scout Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point is: â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

to enable girls and boys to develop to their full potential in accordance with their individual differences and without being restricted to traditional gender roles; to make men and women capable of cooperating on an equal footing, by sharing leadership roles at all levels of Associations.

Until now, the Movement has done little to take

the needs and expectations of girls and women into account, even though they have been members of the Movement for a long time.

This strategic priority is therefore intended to identify the support and the tools needed to help national Scout organisations offer equal opportunities to girls and boys, and to women and men, at all levels of the Scout Movement, and thus create a better gender balance.

4/ Reaching out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; breaking down barriers and opening up to all segments of society Concentrating on a target audience limits the Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential to contribute to building a better world. The Scout Movement must ensure that its education is accessible to everyone who wishes to adhere to Scoutingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principles, especially as certain external aspects of the Movement can sometimes prove to be deterrents for potential members.

This strategic priority is intended to help national Scout organisations to identify needs in those sectors of society in which the Movement does not yet have a presence. The result is expected to be an increase in the number of members and a growing impact on society.

5/ Volunteers in the Scout Movement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developing new approaches to enlarge the adult support base In many countries, a new concept of voluntary work is needed if adults willing to share their experience, knowledge and values with young people are to be attracted and retained. This should also take into account both the need for personal commitment and the need to be recognised within the community for action taken, without excluding being paid for this work.

This strategic priority is intended to redeďŹ ne the concept of voluntary work/unpaid work and help national Scout organisations to recruit and retain new categories of adult leaders.

6/ An organisation for the 21st century â&#x20AC;&#x201C; becoming a ďŹ&#x201A;exible, lean, innovative and participatory organisation To achieve its mission, the Scout Movement must act in a strategic manner. Undertaking such a process presupposes reassessing the way the Movement is organised. However, in

| |

many countries, organisations work with heavy and outdated methods that do not foster either rapid decision-making or broad participation.

The organisation cannot, therefore, anticipate changes in society.

This strategic priority is intended to help both national Scout organisations and WOSM to review their structures and management processes so that they can detect the changing needs of society and respond to them more effectively.

7/ Scoutingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developing communications, partnerships and resources These three inter-related ďŹ elds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; communications, partnerships and resources play a crucial role in the success of the Scout Movement. Effective communication is necessary at all levels to interest new members and motivate professional leaders to obtain the ďŹ nancial resources the Movement needs. This must be planned and targeted. The Scout Movement also needs to work in partnership with other organisations to achieve better results. In order to do so, it must have a better public image. Lastly, the Scout Movement must explore all avenues in the search for funds through good communication.

This strategic priority is intended to strengthen communications, partnerships and re-sources at all levels since these are vital elements for the success of the Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission.
