I hope that you too got a chance to relax and recharge! My summer was a mix of things including Guiding! My family went to Lough Key Forest Park in Boyle, Co. Roscommon for a week of camping and caravanning with friends. And the staff are still talking about the year the Girl Guides were there. It’s hard to believe that Camp 101 was three years ago but the sounds of over 1000 IGG members still echo around Lough Key! I had a very proud moment when I saw members of the Irish Wheelchair Association using the wheelchair-friendly orienteering course that the girls at Camp 101 created as part of their activities. It’s called Wheel-O and the signs acknowledge IGG’s contribution. My ‘mini-Guiding family’ also enjoyed seeing it! I also had the pleasure of camping at the North-West Regional Camp in Sligo and would like to thank all the Leaders and girls there for a really relaxing and fun camp experience. The reason I visited that camp was due to an invitation from a friend called Olva whom I met at IGG’s Standing Camps 22 years ago! The friends you make through Guiding often last a life-time and I am sure many girls and women in IGG met new friends and deepened older friendships through their participation in Ladybird Days Out, Brownie trips and Pack Holidays, Guide camps and holidays, and Senior Branch events during the summer thanks to you, our volunteer Leaders. In August 2015, one of the opportunities IGG provided to develop friendships was the Explorer Belt. This was a tough 180km hike over 10 days in Germany for our Senior Branch age group. But the hiking was only one part of the challenge as the journey was dotted with projects and tasks to be completed as they walked. After a thorough assessment process, both teams were deserving recipients of their Explorer Belts. And despite all the physical aspects of this personal challenge, it was the friendships and teamwork that got people through it. And I believe these kinds of friendships are one of the special things about Guiding. Every week we depend on those friendships to help us be our best for the girls in our Units and in the work of our committees and teams. And as the new term begins, we are delighted to have our fabulous new Journey programme for all Units. It will be so exciting to see this great new programme in action! And I would like to thank all the volunteers and staff who worked to ensure that all the badges, resources and trainings are ready for the Guiding year ahead. I do hope that all Leaders got some chance to rest a little, relax a bit and recharge again over the summer break and together we are ready to lead, train, encourage, support and have fun with the girls and Leaders across all counties in Ireland.

  • 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.

INTRODUCTION Membership of' the Scout Movement imposes both on Scouts and Scouters an obligation of constructive international-mindedness. I believe it is the only Youth Movement, with the Girl Guides that does. This is no doubt one reason why it has spread round the world and now numbers some ten million in almost all the free countries and dependent territories. One of the best ways to kindle in a boy the spark of enthusiasm for things international is to make a point of including a planned international element in his training, from Cub days onward. The aim of this little book is to help you, the Scouter, to do so.
