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.

  • 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.

For most of its history, Armenia was controlled or occupied by external powers, including Assyrians, Persians, Romans, Mongols, Turks, and Russians, although independent Armenian states also existed for short periods of time in the past. In 1922 Armenia was incorporated into the USSR, but after the movement toward independence in the late 1980s, Armenia seceded from the USSR in September 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1992, a member of the Council of Europe in 2001. Due to the war that broke out in the early 1990s, Armenia is still suffering from economic difficulties that affect Armenians’ daily lives. In 2012, the population of Armenia was 2.97 million, of which the number of girls and young women aged 5-19 years old is 264,000. National population has been declining since 1991, following the break-up of the USSR, largely due to high levels of emigration. Ethnic Armenians make up 90 per cent of the population, with the next largest groups being Kurds and Russians (each being less than 2 per cent of the population).

  • Nsk) Og Nsk Styregruppe Året 2016
    ÅRSRAPPORT FOR SPEJDERNES NORDISKE SAMARBEJDSKOMITE (NSK) OG NSK STYREGRUPPE ÅRET 2016 I begyndelsen af 2016 overtog Danmark formandskabet i Spejdernes Nordiske Samar- bejdskomité (NSK) fra Island. Derfor varetages formandskabet for NSK samt styregrup- pen for samarbejdet af repræsentanter for den danske spejderbevægelse. Foråret 2016 bød på stor udskiftning i både styregruppe, formandskab og blandt de øvrige medlemmer af NSK. Den ene formand for NSK’s styregruppe blev udskiftet i maj. Formandsteamet for styre- gruppen består nu af Anne Lintrup og Daniel Berthelsen. Næsten samtidigt blev begge formænd for NSK udskiftet (ifm. den europæiske spejderkonference i juni 2016). De tid- ligere formænd havde valgt at søge nye frivillige opgaver i andre sammenhænge. De to nye formænd for NSK er Monica Lyby (international kommissionær for WAGGGS) og Kri- stian Kvist (international kommissionær for WOSM). Flere af NSK’s ordinære medlemmer (dvs. de internationale kommissionærer for de re- spektive nordiske lande) er ligeledes stoppet i løbet af året, og nye repræsentanter er trådt til. Det er en naturlig udvikling, da internationale kommissærer typisk udpeges af deres medlemsorganisationen med et tidsbegrænset mandat. Den løbende udskiftning har givet grobund for en løbende dialog om det nordiske spejderarbejde og samarbejdet i komitéen. Det har været en god og lærerig proces, og der har gennem året været en god og konstruktiv dialog, hvor alle de nordiske lande har været involveret. HJEMMESIDEN – www.speidereinorden.org I løbet af 2016 er der blevet lagt kræfter i at rydde op, opdatere og omstrukturere NSK’s hjemmeside. Vi har valgt at fortsætte med den supporter i Island, der har hjulpet Island med at opbygge hjemmesiden, og har oplevet et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde mellem supporteren og styregruppen om at få alle de ønskede ændringer implementeret.
