1st World Scout Education Congress

A two day congress has just ended in Hong Kong which brought together leading Scout figures from the six Regions that make up World Scouting - to discuss their experiences and expertise in the Youth Programme and to debate Adult Resources in the 200 countries and territories where Scouting currently exists.

Mind Map

Just one quote from the congress "Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire"

The Mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.  

And it is up to us as leaders, helpers, parents and supporters of the Scout Movement to help in this task of educating our young people through our various groups and sections.

Please look at the mind map (sorry could not make it any bigger but click on image for a clearer view) and see what you make of the world in which we live in today as seen through the eyes of those attending the congress.
