2010 is the year of the Moot! Welcome to yet another edition of the 13th World Scout Moot Bulletin. As 2010 dawns on us, it is also my privilege to welcome you all to the year of the World Scout Moot, the first ever to take place on African soil.
By joining, you will be able to make friends from all over the world and enjoy a bewildering array of fun-filled and yet educative activities. What‘s more, as you participate in this momentous event, you will be awed by the beauty of Kenya, the land where the Founder of Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell, chose to spend his last days.
This year, close to 3000 young adults from all over the world will converge in Kenya to partake in what we fondly call a Moot in Scouting parlance.
The countdown to the Ultimate Discovery is in its final phase. Karibuni Kenya! It’s time!
As most of you know, a World Scout Moot is held every four years and is a gathering of young adults aged 18 – 26 years, who come together to share experiences and to offer service to communities. In addition, you can also join the IST (International Service Team) if you will be 26 years or older on 27th July 2010.
