  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

  • International Matters – October 2015 ………………………………………………………………………………………….…… for All
    International Matters – October 2015 ………………………………………………………………………………………….…… For all Pakistan Scouts rally to support earthquake rescue and relief efforts On 26 October 2015, a powerful 8.1-magnitude earthquake rocked the border of Pakistan, causing more than 300 deaths and injuries to at least 2500 people. Thousands of houses were damaged across the country as a result of the earthquake. The day after the earthquake, Rahila Hameed Khan Durrani, the newly-elected Chief Commissioner of the Pakistan Boy Scouts Association (PBSA) visited Peshawar Scout Headquarters and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Boy Scouts Association as a show of support for the Scouts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA and others, who are actively engaged in the rescue of the survivors. After being briefed on the situation, Rahila Hameed visited the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar and enquired about the well-being of the women and children affected by the earthquake. She was impressed by the assistance being extended by the Peshawar, Khyber Agency and Matta Scouts, and encouraged them to help the survivors to the best of their abilities. Scouts at Swat Valley, one of the badly affected areas, are also helping the survivors to search for their belongings from among the rubble of damaged buildings, and providing them with shelter and necessities. Some blocks of the Pakistan Scouts Cadet College are also severely affected by the earthquake. Classes are now being conducted in makeshift classrooms. There is an urgent need to rebuild these blocks in view of the approaching winter. Scouts have once again shown to affected communities that they can rise to the occasion to provide the support that is required.

  • Worldwide Scouting Edition
    Vol. 5, No. 9 WORLDWIDE SCOUTING EDITION In this Issue: • World Scouting Crest • Worldwide Scouting • Citizenship in the World Merit Badge • Interpreter's Strips • American Scouts in Foreign Lands • 23rd World Jamboree - 2015 Can you name the only patch worn by every Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturer? It's the World Scouting Crest. As a symbol of unity shared by all Scouts, it is featured on the uniforms of 28 million Scouts in 216 nations. World Scout Crest Emblem Each element of the crest has meaning: • Purple background = leadership and service to others • Rope and square knot = unity of Scouting throughout the world • Stars = truth and knowledge • Fleur-de-lis = the three points of the Scout Oath or Promise They all come together to symbolize the spirit of fellowship among Scouts everywhere. WORLDWIDE SCOUTING Friendship and understanding among youth of all nations became especially important to Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, when millions suffered during World War One. Soon after the war ended, he hosted the first World Jamboree in London to join together Scouts from around the globe in the name of peace. "Let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop, among ourselves and our boys, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood," Baden-Powell told them, "so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men." A cartoon in Britain's Punch magazine of August, 1920, showed a war-weary world expressing approval for the Jamboree's message of peace and brotherhood among all: CITIZENSHIP IN THE WORLD MERIT BADGE The 1911 Boy Scout Handbook included a merit badge for Civics.

  • Timeline Showing the Development of Scout Uniform from 1908 to the Present Day
    Timeline showing the development of Scout Uniform from 1908 to the present day When Robert Baden-Powell devised the scheme of Scouting for Boys it was for use by existing uniformed organisations such as the Church Lads Brigade, Boys Brigade and Cadet Corps etc. However it was soon apparent that boys and girls who were not part of some existing organisations taking up Scouting and the demand was there for them to have their own organisation. They followed the guidance Baden- Powell had laid down in Scouting for Boys for non-uniformed groups. The Uniform has been listed in the Boy Scout Regulations from 1911 until 1914 when the title was changed to Policy, Organisation and Rules the title still used to this day in which the uniform is still listed. Thus always referring to the Boy Scouts as a Uniformed Scheme, this was confirmed in the Royal Charter of 1912, this gave the Royal Seal of approval and recognition to "The Boy Scouts Association. UNIFORM - Quotes from Robert Baden-Powell The uniform means that you are now one of a big brotherhood. It goes all over the world. People think a great lot of a boy who is dressed in this uniform, because they know he is not an ordinary boy, but that he can be clean and smart and active, and that he can be trusted to do his best, to obey orders or to do good turns for other people.
