However, this is largely due to the significant increase of membership in one of the Regions (some 10’000’000 more Scouts declared by the Scout Association of Indonesia in 2010). Two other Regions have shown a constant upward trend (Africa and Eurasia) but this is also due, in part, by new associations being admitted into WOSM. The three other Regions have all gone through the “dip” of 1995-2007 but they all seem to have recovered now and re-started a positive trend. Sometimes the big leaps in numbers are due to new associations being recognized (ex: associations of South-East Europe in the early nineties, the Eurasia Region, some African NSOs, etc.), new categories added (registering the girls in WOSM – like in France or Finland) or increased level of accuracy in the registration system (ex: Indonesia in 2010) but the stable trend overall is generally the result of hard work in maintaining a relevant programme for young people and ensure quality adult support. 5 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 6 Regional perspectives 1991-2012 7 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 8 AFRICA Proportions of the 10 largest associations in the region Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing members Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing penetration rate Gambia 1% Others 1991-2012 2007-2012 1991-2012 2007-2012 Rwanda 12% Mozambique 1% 2% Nigeria 3% 34% Tanzania 39% 42% Ethiopia 37% 4% 61% 5% South Africa 5% 5% DR Congo 5% 39% 13% 61% Uganda 53% 8% Kenya 26% 22% 21% Membership development 1991-2012 Membership development 1991-2012 Absolute numbers Penetration rate 1,600,000 0.600 1,400,000 0.500 1,200,000 0.400 1,000,000 0.300 800,000 0.200 600,000 0.100 400,000 0.000 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 9 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 ARAB Proportions of the 10 largest associations in the region Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing members Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing penetration rate Others 1991-2012 2007-2012 1991-2012 2007-2012 16% Egypt 27% Oman 30% 35% 4% 40% 40% Libya 4% 5% Lebanon 5% 15% Pales/nian Authority 20% 11% Sudan 5% 45% Jordan 65% 5% 50% Tunisia Algeria 40% 6% Saudi Arabia 11% 6% 15% Membership development 1991-2012 Membership development 1991-2012 Absolute numbers Penetration rate 400,000 0.350 0.300 350,000 0.250 300,000 0.200 250,000 0.150 200,000 0.100 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 1 0 ASIA-PACIFIC Proportions of the 10 largest associations in the region Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing members Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing penetration rate Pakistan Japan Others Australia Hong Kong Republic of Korea 2% 0% 1% 0% 0% 1% Bangladesh 3% 1991-2012 2007-2012 1991-2012 2007-2012 Thailand 4% Philippines 6% 46% 50% 58% 67% India 11% 4% 4% 8% Indonesia 72% 50% 46% 33% 33% Membership development 1991-2012 Membership development 1991-2012 Absolute numbers Penetration rate 33,000,000 3.000 2.700 28,000,000 2.400 23,000,000 2.100 1.800 18,000,000 1.500 1.200 13,000,000 0.900 8,000,000 0.600 0.300 3,000,000 0.000 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 1990 1995 2001 2007 2012 11 MEMBERSHIP REPORT 2013 EURASIA Proportions of the 10 largest associations in the region Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing members Number of NSOs increasing / maintaining / loosing penetration rate Tajikistan 5% Kazakhstan 1991-2012 2007-2012 1991-2012 2007-2012 5% Belarus 6% 33% Georgia Russian Federa,on 8% 35% 44% 56% 67% Azerbaijan 8% 22% 22% Republic of Moldova 11% 10% Ukraine 44% 12% Armenia 33% 33% 33% 11% Membership development 1991-2012 Membership development 1991-2012 Absolute numbers Penetration rate 32,000 0.031 0.030 24,000 0.029 0.028 16,000 0.027

It was about this time that there was planted an acorn of thought that was to grow into a mighty oak. There was a better way. Now the acorn began to grow. It cast its cool shade over England, and almost overnight, the entire Empire. Now it leaped the Atlantic and soon it girded the whole world, reaching every nation and the far islands of the seas. The Scouts of the world have a power greater than all the dynamite ever made because it leaps national boundaries and even overcomes racial hatreds. So those of us who have lived our allotted span of life look with calmness upon a rather troubled world. We, like the ancient fire worshippers, can draw joy and comfort from the knowledge that the sacred fires in the hearts of the Scouts symbolized by their myriad camps, will follow the setting sun.

  • It's Not Just About Tents and Campfires
    It’s not just about tents and campfires An example of how a non-governmental organization empowers young people to become good citizens making a positive change in their communities as well as in the world. Emelie Göransson Bachelor’s thesis in Development Studies, 15hp Department of Human Geography, Lund University Autumn 2013 Supervisor: Karin Steen Abstract The concept of empowerment is deeply rooted in power relations. Young people have often been seen as incompetent, however, if given the right tools they can achieve positive change today. They are not merely the adults of the future; they are the youth of today. Education and awareness rising are key ingredients in the creation of change and development. How to educate, enable and empower young people one might ask; the answer provided in this thesis is through the Scout Movement. The reason for this is that the Scout Movement is the world’s largest non-formal educational movement with a positive view on what young people can achieve. It is a movement that teaches young people good citizenship and empowers them to become self-fulfilled individuals creating a positive change in their communities.

  • Mer Info Om Scouterna
    Spårare 8-9 år I Scouterna kan du uppleva äventyr i naturen, upptäcka nya sätt att lösa problem eller bara ha kul tillsammans medan vi utforskar världen. I Scouterna kan du hitta på nästan vad som helst, från att leka nya lekar och bygga kojor i skogen som man kan sova i, till att pyssla och laga mat. Du lär dig något nytt nästan varje dag i Scouterna, det är alltid roliga saker men ibland är de också väldigt bra att kunna. Som att tälja med kniv eller lägga bandage på någon som gjort sig illa. Men till skillnad från hur man gör i skolan läser vi inga böcker om knivar och bandage, vi lär oss genom att göra, genom att prova på allt på riktigt istället. Medan vi gör det samarbetar vi alltid i patruller, små grupper där alla är med och bestämmer. Det är smart, för tillsammans kan man alltid hjälpas åt att hitta på ännu roligare saker. När man är scout gör man alltid sitt bästa men det gör inget om det råkar bli fel, därför brukar vi tänka lite på hur allting gått till så att vi blir bättre till nästa gång. Upptäckare 10-12 år I Scouterna kan du uppleva äventyr i naturen, upptäcka nya sätt att lösa problem eller bara ha kul tillsammans medan vi utforskar världen. I Scouterna träffar du nya kompisar och har kul. Tillsammans med kompisarna får du upptäcka nya äventyr varje gång ni ses. Som upptäckarscout får du lära dig något nytt nästan varje dag, det är alltid roliga grejer men också sånt som är väldigt bra att kunna.
