Wish All Brother and Sister Scouts and Guides a Very Warm Founders Day!!! February 22nd marks the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement. Coincidentally, B-P (born in 1857) and his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889), shared the same birthday. Nearly all National Scout Associations throughout the world, celebrate this day as « Founder's Day ». It is considered a special day, as well as an opportunity to learn more about BP's life and his work. Girl Guides mark this day as Thinking Day. Today there are more than 28 million Scouts, youth and adults, boys and girls, in 160 countries. This large movement owe a great deal to BP. Girl Guiding was also founded by him and latter his wife Olave Baden Powell became Chief Guide. His Works: Military books 1884: Reconnaissance and Scouting 1885: Cavalry Instruction 1889: Pigsticking or Hoghunting 1896: The Downfall of Prempeh 1897: The Matabele Campaign 1899: Aids to Scouting for N.-C.Os and Men 1900:

The Maldivian Islands consists in the group of countries that are soon to be submerged underwater. This Beautiful small Island state today fears its own survival!! Simple fact remains, simple questions DO THEY DESERVE THEIR FATE? IS IT THEIR FAULT? WHY MALDIVES? and yet simple answers that we all know!! Last Sunday, Under the "Products that cannot be imported into Maldives Law, Clause 5" (not sure of the exact English translation, this is more of a literal translation, in Dhevihi it is called "Dhivehiraaje ah ehthere kurun manaa thaketheege gaanoonu" ), The Ministry of Defense and National Security banned 15 CFC products. As Maldives is a member country that singed/ratified the Montreal protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, by the end of this year Maldives Have to stop importing CFC products or products that have CFC in it. Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are gases used in refrigerant and aerosols as propellant, which contains Carbon sometimes Hydrogen,

Another update from our "Post-Copenhagen" climate campaigner - Paul Horsman: It is 21 years since the first scientific assessment of climate change was published; 18 years since the Rio Earth Summit at which the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was agreed. Twelve years have passed since the Kyoto Protocol was agreed and two years since the Bali Action plan. Each of these passing milestones has been variously described as ‘first steps’ and ‘ways forward’, demonstrating commitments to protect the climate. And with each passing milestone we have moved further up the curve of growing greenhouse gas emissions heading inexorably towards catastrophic climate change. Six weeks have gone since the December climate summit where the Copenhagen Accord proposed a deadline of January 31 by which governments were to pledge how much they were going to take action to protect the climate. And as this latest milestone passed on Sunday, we see again the size of the gap between

The World Scout Conference is the governing body, the "general assembly" of Scouting, and is composed of all the members of the World Organization: the National Scout Organizations (NSOs). Its function is to consider the policy and standards of the Scout Movement throughout the world, formulate the general policy of the World Organization, and take the actions required to further the purpose of the Movement. National Scout Organizations must gain recognition from the World Scout Conference to become members of WOSM, and there can only be one NSO per country. In the case of a country having more than one Scout Association, a federation is formed for the purposes of national coordination and world membership. Member Organizations can be represented at World Scout Conferences by a maximum of six delegates. The Conference meets every three years and observers authorised by their National Scout Organization are also eligible to register and attend the event. Delegations usually i
