Japan Launches 2007 Programme
May, 2004
The Scout Association of Japan has announced a series of actions from 2004 to 2007 to vitalize groups and councils throughout Japan.
Starting now, in 2004, all members will wear the official Centenary Badge on their uniforms. They bear the theme "One World One Promise" in Japanese. (Japan is the first country to receive approval to manufacture the badges.)
