The Arab Regional Office is pleased to announce that the developed Arab Scout Curricula educational materials for all Scout age sections ( Cub Scouts, Scouts, Senior Scouts and Rovers) are now available online. These materials contain in each Scout age section the following: (Leader Handbook, Young people Hand book, Progressing scheme card and progressive scheme requirement poster).

In addition to that, we produced the General handbook for the Youth Programme commissioners and a publicity poster.

We urge all Scouts and leaders in the Arab Scout Region to start practice their Scout programme through adopting the new curricula during the experimental year 2012, the year of the Arab Scout Region Centenary.

You can send your notes and feedback on the curricula to the e-mail.

Training Commissioners, 40 of them from 20 countries and 23 national Scout and Guide associations met for the third time from 13 to 15 January 2011. The aim of the Meeting was to offer a motivating and informative opportunity for experts in the field of volunteering and youth leaders training to share experiences and learn from each other.

Scouts from three different Brazilian states travelled great distances to assist a ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) in setting up camps, providing emergency shelter to families made homeless by recent floods and mudslides in eastern Brazil.
For the third time in two years, Brazilian scouts were prepared to help ShelterBox deliver aid to displaced people in need of shelter, even if it meant travelling long distances through the night. Thirty scouts from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais joined forces with the SRT and local volunteers to help put up ShelterBox tents in the devastated areas of Japamapará and Além Paraíba. In two swelteringly hot days, tents became homes for around 70 families.
