  • 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.

  • 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. Wolf Cubs Handbook, 55 I may say that I always wear shorts, myself, winter and summer, and I never seem to have a cold.
