THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE MALDIVES PRESS ROOM / Speeches Interview by President Nasheed to the World Today program of BBC World Service Radio, during his official visit to London BBC World Service Radio: 3.40 GMT. The President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed has been working on a novel plan to save his island nation from disappearing under water. President Nasheed: The bottom line is that we are looking for dry land in the doomsday scenario - in the eventuality, unforeseen eventuality, of that happening. Now basically as a responsible politician, we do have to set up structures, we do have to set up processes that can be used by future generations. So therefore, in a sense, the idea is that we start the debate; we start the process now and see how far we could go from here. BBC World Service Radio: How many people are in the Maldives? President Nasheed: Three hundred thousand. BBC World Service Radio: Three hundred thousand? And you got any idea where? They would move en masse. This is t

The 22nd World Scout Jamboree will take place in the fields of Rinkaby, Kristianstad, Skåne in southern Sweden in 2011. The jamboree theme will be Simply Scouting . In 2001, a national Jamboree took place here with 26,500 scouts, and another national Jamboree of Sweden, Jiingijamborii was held here from 14-22 July in 2007 for the scouts. The 22nd World Scout Jamboree lies near the coast on sandy ground surrounded by pine woods. Sandy earth helps rain water run off, and thus there is no risk of any parts of the jamboree camp area being waterlogged for the scouts. The campsite is approximately 1.5 km by 1.5 km. Small areas of forest divide the campsite into smaller fields. The temperature is varying, average day temperature is 22 degrees Celsius, while average night temperature is 17 degrees Celsius. The sun rises at 5 o'clock in the morning (05:00). Sunset is at 9 in the evening (or 21:00). Drinking water is available from wells at the field. There is already an extensive water and

CAMPING AND OUT-DOOR CODES MAEED MOHAMED ZAHIR CAMPING AND SCOUTING Some people talk of “roughing it” in camp. Well a “tenderfoot” may find it rough and uncomfortable. But there is no “roughing it” for a backwoodsman. He knows how to look after himself and make himself comfortable. If he had no tent, he would not sit down to shiver and grouse, but sets to work, to rig up a shelter or a hut for him. He chooses a good spot for it, where he is not likely be flooded out if a storm of rain were to come on. Then he lights a camp fire, and makes himself a soft mattress of ferns or straw. “A scout is full of resources. He can find a way out of any difficulty or discomfort.” Baden Powell describes in his book, “Scouting for boys.” To become a good scout camping and the outdoors are essential. To be a scout it is important to know “living in the open.” Camping is the joyous part of a scout’s life. Living out in the open air, among the hills and trees, living with nature, having your own little c

ROVER SCOUTING MAEED MOHAMED ZAHIR ROVERING “He is a hefty Rover Scout, about eighteen years of age that is a fellow training to be a man. He has tramped from a distance with his pack, in which were his light tent, his blanket, cooking pot and food. He carries on him his axe and lariat. In his hand a serviceable staff with a weirdly carved head, his own work. In addition to this load he carries a still more important thing - a happy smile on his weather - tanned face.” Describes lord Robert Stephan Smyth Baden Power of Gilwell, the Chief Scout of the world in his book ‘Rovering to Success’ “THE TERM ROVER SCOUT STANDS FOR A TRUE MAN AND A GOOD CITIZEN”. The law for Rovers is the same as for Scouts, in wording and principle but has to be viewed from a new standpoint – that is from that of a man. In both cases the principle underlying the scout law knocks out self and shoves in good-will and helpfulness to others. Don’t take this as instruction in piety, but as directions to manliness. T
