SCOUTS EVERY DAY A GLOBAL NETWORK SERVING TO PEACE

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. -Mahatma Gandhi

“Do as my dependent ...” is the phrase that resonates inside us for life, since we recite our first Scout promise and resonate each once we make a new challenge. This phrase defines many ways our lifestyle, the way we perceive our limits and even in the lives of people around us. This phrase allowed me to overcome my limits. The first time when I was 14 years old, being even Scout; through tropical forest and mountain, carrying a backpack ready for 3 day trial outdoors: hiking, cooking without utensils and compass orientation ... a version of the Scout high adventure!!! Low sun and rain I wondered. How did you get here? “Smile and sing...” and “do all in my depends ... “I got a second, third and fourth air to reach the destination, in addition to fun. So I learned that there are no limits to achieve my goals, whenever it clears what I’m getting and continue
Step by step, one at a time.
A second opportunity to test my limits reached during the national emergency in 2011 Thousands of people affected in El Salvador by the eruption of the volcano Llamatepec and Tropical Storm Stan. Natural question between national leadership who will take action? - No more preambles, Educational Methods to coordinate the operation emergency care. Mobilization with governments, local coordination of Scouts nationwide, calculation and distribution of basic food grains and rising censuses, mapping risk locations, etc. So I learned that serving people is largely a more important reason than my personal limitations. I also learned that I’ll never be alone, the vast network of Scouts and former Scouts provide support from their position and resources at your fingertips.
The newest challenge ... inspire 40 million Scouts take action in their community through service and it inspire 200 million no scouts to join our effort to create a better world. This includes talking about Peace to youth and adults of different cultures and contexts different languages, unknown to me.
Does it seem extreme, utopian and different educational purpose I express the movement? Yes I do. But nothing more than the Scout reality everyday. Over 100 years ago, Baden Powell imagined men and women twinned above their differences, inspired by the bond created in their youth, to join hands in service to others. B. P. envisioned a global service network transcending cultures, ethnicities and borders, integrating affecting youth and adults in their society. Being Scouts are not aware that a simple walk will allow us to take nearly impossible challenges through life, we get it to grow. In front of the extreme need for others, Scouts don´t take a moment to think in the possibility of not taking action, the impulse to serve put us in front of great challenges. In 2007, 10 million Scouts joined together to give a Gift of Peace through service to their community, in 110 countries. Scouts make peace every day, living the values we have adopted.
So universal and inspiring as is the ideal of peace, all good intention must be accompanied by objectives and action. “Not enough to talk about peace. One should believe in it and work for it “as noted by Eleanor Roosevelt. Youth and adults must be aware of our role in building the Peace Culture, understood as “a set of values, attitudes, traditions, behaviors and lifestyles. “
