Our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision and encouragement to produce a vaccine within our country is now a reality. Our scientists and medical researchers devoted their knowledge and expertise in producing an effective vaccine. The plans of Government to vaccinate the frontline workers are in the second stage. The members of the Bharat Scouts and Guides should take part in creating awareness on the usefulness of the vaccine and remove the doubts and misinformation being spread.

The community especially, the school going students and teachers are now back to their institutions. The Scouts, Guides, Rovers and Rangers should actively participate in continuing the efforts to keep vigil to spread the message of safe distance, use of masks and all efforts to maintain hygiene in the schools and other places where people gathers. The examinations are scheduled by the Boards for higher classes; you speak to young people and make them confident that they appear in their examinations without fear. Conduct study classes, do counseling over available Medias and help overcome the stress among the students who are appearing for examination. This is the best service you can do for the community.

Personally Speaking

viuh ckr February is the border between winter and spring. If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers; February is for doers. In this month there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret.

You all are aware that we celebrate the joint Birthday of Lord & Lady Baden Powell on 22nd February every year as “Thinking Day” or “Founder’s Day” which is a regular feature of the Bharat Scouts and Guides Movement.“Thinking Day” is an important way for boys and girls to learn about the global action theme through fun activities in their communities. The theme for 2021 is ‘Peace building’. Peace building is in the heart of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting and is as vital and relevant today as for the last 100 years. The delegates chose 22 February as the date for Thinking Day because it is the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Guide. The efforts of boys and girls around the world raising money for World Thinking Day also provides an essential source of funding for the gigantic work of the World Association in support.

WORLD THINKING DAY – MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR I am so happy to be celebrating another World Thinking Day with you all, a day the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement has celebrated since 1926. Today, we come together to celebrate the joys of sisterhood, and the impact that we have around the world and in our communities. Each year we fundraise to support amazing projects which help to transform the lives of girls and young women, we take part in fun activities, and we connect with each other through post cards or emails.

Although it will still be a day of celebration, World Thinking Day this year will look a little different for all of us. With the impact of COVID-19 still being felt around the world, most of the activities we would have been enjoying together in person will be taking place instead in online spaces. The global pandemic has brought many changes to our work, putting plans on hold and preventing us from meeting together as we always have. But despite this, as a Movement we are united and I have been so proud – though not surprised – to read about the amazing ways in which Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world have reacted to the pandemic, offering support and leadership to their communities. From sewing face masks, distributing much needed supplies to vulnerable communities, and conducting information sharing sessions, Guides and Scouts have stepped up to be amazing beacons of hope in a difficult time.

The theme for World Thinking Day this year is Stand Together for Peace, and it is a wonderful opportunity for us to think about the importance of peace and conflict resolution, and the many strengths of Guiding and Scouting which unite us. We are united also with our brothers in the World Organization of the Scout Movement who join with us today in celebrating Founder’s Day. Since I joined the World Board in 2016 I have seen the Movement go through many changes, and am proud that we are always adaptable and always responding to what is going on in the world around us. I want to wish you a very happy World Thinking Day, and to thank all of you for working so hard this year to keep the flame of Guiding alive where you are.

SCOUTING IN INDIA EMBARKS ON AMBITIOUS GROWTH STRATEGY WITH SUPPORT FROM WOSM SERVICES

As Scouting continues to adapt to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, National Scout Organizations around the world are discovering ways to maintain and grow their membership.

The Bharat Scouts and Guides in India is a shining example of an organisation- despite the challenges of the global health crisis, it is working to engage even more young people and volunteers in Scouting by establishing a clear and actionable growth strategy for their whole organisation.

India is currently holding a fifth of the world’s youth, and more than half of the country’s 1.3 billion people are below the age of 25, representing a sizeable opportunity for the Bharat Scouts and Guides to equip the next generation of young leaders with the skills needed to be active

global citizens. Already this growth effort is underway in places such as Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Shimla, Dehradun, Raipur and other communities where the Bharat Scouts and Guides aims to expand young people involved in Scouting from 3.7 million to more than 6 million in the next five years.

The development and implementation of a national growth strategy for the Bharat Scouts and Guides began with a request through the WOSM Services platform to receive support. Using guidance provided in World Scouting’s Growth Toolkit, along with expertise offered by trained WOSM Services Consultant, the National Scout Organization was able to turn their national growth strategy from an administrative document into a collective call to action with buy-in from both leadership and Scouts.

Key to the success of achieving membership growth for the Bharat Scouts and Guides was having a clear, actionable strategy with achievable targets that could be measured. Having a strong growth strategy in place also enabled the leadership of the National Scout Organization to share the impact of this effort with donors and other key stakeholders - helping to raise awareness and resources to engage more young people across India in becoming active citizens through community service projects.

The growth agenda has also positioned Scouting in India as an ideal partner to contribute to the national government’s efforts to extend education for all and expand Skill India as a key initiative to provide more young people with 21st century skills for the future. The role that Dr. K.K. Khandelwal, Chief National Commissioner, has played in this area is remarkable.

Mr. Raj Kumar Kaushik, Director of the Bharat Scouts and Guides, is a true advocate for the support this National Scout Organization, sharing that “WOSM Services provided us with longterm and holistic support in various areas of our organisation’s work and was truly tailored to our needs.”

Since the Growth Service was launched to all National Scout Organizations one year ago, as part of the WOSM Services platform, its resources and support have been helping Member Organizations to increase their capacity in managing membership growth. National Scout Organizations looking to strengthen or create an actionable strategy for membership growth are encouraged to explore the Growth Toolkit and request a service through the WOSM Services platform.

SCOUTS CONTRIBUTE 2 BILLION HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE TOWARDS PEACE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Scouts have now contributed an astonishing 2 billion hours of community service through the Messengers of Peace Initiative to improve the sustainability of our planet by promoting peace, acting as environmental leaders, and championingequality around the globe.

The milestone puts Scouting half-way towards fulfilling its commitment to make the world’s largest youth contribution of 4 billion hours of community service towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Scouting has made an extraordinary contribution for more than a century to improve the sustainability of our planet through its unique brand of non-formal education that equips young people with the skills and competencies to be active global citizens.

In 2010, Scouting pledged to inspire a culture of peace and dialogue through its flagship Messengers of Peace initiative by encouraging millions of young people to carry out peace-building projects in their communities and log their volunteer hours through Scouting’s online platform.

Since then, Scouts have delivered more than 16 million local projects and actions throughout the world,

supporting communities devastated by natural floods and earthquakes in Haiti, leading peace-building efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, facilitating interfaith dialogues in Indonesia, standing up for gender equality in Saudi Arabia, and working to make refugees feel Welcomed in Turkey.

“In this Decade of Action for the SDGs we need to accelerate community and youth-led solutions for sustainability over the next ten years if we are going to put our planet on a path towards peace and sustainable development. Our Messengers of Peace Initiative is proof of what youth movements like Scouting can do to achieve the SDGs,” said Ahmad Alhendawi, Secretary General of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement.

As the world adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Scout Movement continued its contribution towards the Global Goals through Scouts for SDGs, a global mobilisation effort to engage young people in taking action to end poverty, tackle climate change, reduce inequalities and more.

“Scouts for SDGs has helped to mobilise young people around the world into collective action to tackle some of the most pressing social, economic and environmental challenges affecting our world. Through voluntary service and local projects, Scouts are building stronger, sustainable and more resilient communities one act at a time,” said Jemima Nartey, Vice-Chairperson of the World Scout Committee and the Committee liaison for the Messengers of Peace initiative.

Through these efforts, Scouting is recognised globally as a vital force for humanitarian action and emergency response. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of thousands of Scouts around the world stepped up in different ways to ensure the safety of their communities and respond to their needs.

Scouts have been registering these community service hours and local projects since 2013 through the Scouts for SDGs online hub, which are monitored and reported by 171 National Scout Organizations and featured on an interactive map showing how they contribute to each SDG. Scouting’s local actions and contributions towards the SDGs are being supported through a network of partners and supporters including the World Scout Foundation and its network of private donors, Alwaleed Philanthropies, United Nations agencies, development agencies and governments, namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

There is a heightened sense of responsibility and urgency now more than ever to take concrete, lasting actions to advance the SDGs. As a global Movement, 54 million Scouts will continue to take action, individually and collectively, to deliver on the 2030 promise.
