Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #335
Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 58 No. 3 (Whole No. 335) See article starting on page 13. MAY / JUNE 2014 1 Editorial Sorry this issue is a bit late but I gave Colin Walker extended time as he is finishing his new book on Scouting in the First World War. Since my last Editorial I have completed my last Gang Show - which went very smoothly from my point of view but I’m afraid there were a lot of complaints to the DC about my going and also the prohibiting of over 25's from appearing on stage, which he has also enforced. They are trying to put together a new team so it will be interesting to see how matters progress. I have missed out the humorous postcards from this issue as I have two interesting, but longer articles, to include. I hope that you like them. As I am typing this I have just finished watching the 70th Anniversary of D-Day events on television and the more that I watch the more that I come to admire the bravery of ordinary people - on both sides of the divide. My own father was a gunner on merchant ships during the later stages of the war (having been on a reserved occupation in the Police for the first few years). His vessel was due to be part of the first wave of the invasion and they duly left the UK loaded up with troops early on the morning of 6th June, 1944. However they only got about half way across the English Channel when the boiler on the ship failed and they then had to limp back to Portsmouth for repairs - and in the process no doubt saving a lot of lives. -

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.

No. 28 Scoutiar.Info Scout.Org/Interamerica
EDITION No. 28 scoutiar.info scout.org/interamerica www.facebook.com/Scoutiar S EO. UB . UMBRA . FLOR Some time ago I had written on this subject. Back then I did so for Scout Magazine “Youth Forum” of the Scout Association of Mexico, AC. Now I would like to share with you this reflection using new words, as I don´t remember what I used on that occasion. When studying for the MBA , one of the professors asked us in class what does “consistency” mean to you? Several were the responses of the students in that class: to act according to what is said ... to act according to what you think ... Given these responses, that old professor said – none are accurate. Consistency means “To be oneself.” Then he explained that nature is very wise on this issue Raúl Sánchez Vaca because every being acts exactly according to what it is. The bird behaves as a bird and assumes qualities and acts as such. The same applies to the tree, the Regional Director cloud, the rock. Each has a specific function in nature. They were created for a purpose and act on a daily basis in line with the “mission” that was assigned to World Scout Bureau them by the Creator. Of course, they do not possess a will to decide whether to do so, hence “consistency” is not optional for them. Interamerican Region But if man has the option of being consistent or not it is our free will that allows us to decide. This special quality which we have means we can choose to be consistent or not. -
To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools
TO MAKE GOOD CANADIANS: GIRL GUIDING IN INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Mary Jane McCallum 2001 Canadian Studies and Native Studies M.A. Program May2002 ABSTRACT To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools Mary Jane McCallum Between 1910 and 1970, the Guide movement became active and, indeed, prolific in Indian residential, day, and hostel schools, sanatoriums, reserves and Northern communities throughout Canada. In these contexts, Guiding embraced not only twentieth century youth citizenship training schemes, but also the colonial project of making First Nations and Inuit people good citizens. But ironically, while the Guide programme endeavoured to produce moral, disciplined and patriotic girls who would be prepared to undertake home and civic responsibilities as dutiful mothers and wives, it also encouraged girls to study and imitate 'wild' Indians. This thesis will explore the ways in which Girl Guides prepared girls for citizenship, arguing that the Indian, who signified to Guides authentic adventure, primitive skills and civic duty, was a model for their training. 'Playing Indian' enabled Guides to access these 'authentic' Indian virtues. It also enabled them to deny their roles as proponents of colonialism. Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people who have helped me to research and write this thesis. First, I would like to thank the Munsee Delaware First Nation for their continued assistance in my post-secondary academic endeavours. -

3Rd Epsom Scout Group Official History
3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History 3rd Epsom Scout Group Official History Version 8 Compiled 2018 This history has been compiled from such records such as St. Martin's Church magazine, minutes of Group committees, AGMs, log books and the history of Epsom and Ewell District. Many thanks are owed to David Faulkner who has compiled the majority of the history up to 1992 together with other people associated with the Scout Group, particularly the Collins family, Leslie and Edith Clark, Michael Arthur, Shirley Quemby (nee Moore) and Richard Ascough. We hope you enjoy reading this history and feel that you then know a bit more about the Group as the longest continuous registered Group in Epsom and Ewell. Inevitably there will be omissions and errors, therefore if anyone has any additions or corrections, however small, they would be very much appreciated. Richard Ascough Group Scout Leader Version 8 Page 1 3rd Epsom (St. Martin’s) Scout Group History The 1990's This new decade started with so much happening that it is difficult to know where to begin. The programme of the refurbishment and modernisation of the HQ was now in hand and work had already started. The total cost was estimated at £24,000 and towards this the HQ Committee had "saved" about £5,000 (mainly because fundraising had continued very profitably but little work had been carried out while the lease was negotiated); and the Church had generously donated £3,000. Another benefactor now appeared in the Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Councillor Robert Lewis who although he had no positive connection with the Group (other than that the Mayor's Secretary, Maureen Chartres, was a former parent) adopted St. -

The Boy with the Tiger the Boy with the Tiger
World Scout Foundation Annual Report 2014 The boy with the tiger The boy with the tiger Benjamin sat in the corner, a lonely 12 year old, with a tight grip As the Casa Alianza Scout Tropa 31 got ready for a new trip, on his only personal possession – a toy tiger … Benjamin looked on, not with the usual fear, but with a sense of curiosity. Maria Antonia could see something in this new kid – from time to time, she could see a sparkle in his eyes, but in the past two Benjamin timidly asked Maria Antonia “How can I be like weeks he had been distant from everyone. them?” … Looking at the forty Scouts, in uniform, working in patrols gathering their kit together – it wasn’t like a usual Maria Antonia is the “Educadora” (house-mother) in Casa Alianza. day in Casa Alianza. Today, this was different … these Scouts An outreach project in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. seemed different somehow … Benjamin had told her he was there “because my family is too “Why not join us this weekend?” she asked poor to keep me” … (in fact his young life was scarred by abuse and neglect, until finally he ended up here). “Could I? ... Will they take my stuff?” he whispered with fearful eyes, holding his tiger even tighter … but really hoping But today seemed different. The atmosphere in the whole hostel he could join them … was different. “Of course not … take my hand and let’s go!” And Benjamin felt different. 01 02 His mind raced with excitement and concern – would he be bullied like he was at home, and at the hostel … all the kids were older – or at least more experienced in Casa Alianza than he was … would they take what remained of his stuff … he clung to Maria Antonia … never letting her out of his sight … and with a definite grip on his talisman – his cuddly tiger.
