  • To Our Rover Scouts English Section
    To Our Rover Scouts English Section By Nguyen Van Thuat 2006 Foreword On The 2nd Edition The booklet “To All Vietnamese Rovers” was first published in 1993 and in 13 years there have been many changes in our lives as well as in our Scouting activities. However, formal regulations have not been put in place for Vietnamese Scouting due to the simple fact that the Scout Association of Vietnam has not been officially re-established. Of course all overseas Vietnamese Scout units need to comply with the regulations of the National Scout Association with which they are registered for membership and activities. In updating information on Rovering activities, this edition of “To All Vietnamese Rovers” has been revised to help Rovers respond to their present needs. This edition can also be regarded as a special contribution as well as a greeting from the author to the upcoming Jamboree Thang Tien 8, which will be held in California, USA from July 8 to July 14, 2006. What I’m hoping to achieve, through this booklet, is to provide you with the main features of the Rover Section and its activities, which may be useful and applicable to overseas Vietnamese Rover Crews. The author wishes to thank Reverend Tien Loc, who was Commissioner for Rovers, the Scout Association of Vietnam before May 1975 for his provision of supplementary details when the booklet was reprinted by the “Rover Section Library” in Vietnam in 2004. For this second edition I have received considerable help and support from the following: • Scouters Le Ngoc Buu (Vietnam), Patricia Styles

This project-based thesis report details the entire process of planning, executing and evaluating a 4-week scout expedition to Nepal. The thesis is commissioned by Suomen Partiolaiset – Finlands Scouter ry (Guides and Scouts of Finland), Finland’s largest youth organization striving to offer children and young people fun and adventurous experiences whilst learning new skills and growing into responsible citizens of the world. The expedition to Nepal is to become a triennial event for the commissioner, and therefore laying a good groundwork is essential. The project began in February 2012 with the selection of Jennamari Terävä as the project leader and Marianna Terävä as the chief of travel arrangements. From there on, this thesis reports the selection of the organizing committee, the initial advertising and selection of the 24 participants, the preparatory meetings, the negotiations between the team and local partners in Nepal, and, finally, the trip, realized in April 2013.
