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.

On January 21st Chairman Michael Bradshaw, two Vicechairmen Fernando Brodeschi and Kent Clayburn and members of the Interamerican Scout Committee Rafe Lucado, Gilberto Mendoza and Steve Kent visited the Regional Office for the first meeting with the new team of Directors.

El evento se realizará del 31 de Marzo al 5 de abril del 2012.
En San Salvador, Sonsonate y La Libertad.

The word “responsibility” refers to the capacity (ability) to respond. We should be sufficiently competent to respond whether at work, in our studies, or at home to undertake our allotted tasks.

If we are slow to respond or we are not fully able to reply to a request, we will be accused of being incompetent. On the other hand, if we define our priorities and focus on responding as soon as possible, our competence is evident and we will be considered responsible.

Every task demands responsibility to the extent of our capability. Then, opportunities will increase and greater trust will be placed on us to undertake new and bigger responsibilities.

The first World Scout Jamboree took place at Olympia in London, England in 1920. This event marked the beginning of a great tradition which, thanks to the enthusiasm and excitement of thousands of Scouts, has continued ever since.

Jamborees have been held in every corner of the planet, successfully uniting in one place and at the same time Scoutswhootherwisewouldneverhaveknowneachother.

The 22nd.World Scout Jamboree took place in Rinkaby in Sweden. More tan 40,000 attended this great occasion. The organizers concentrated in providing a full program of activities under the Jamboree slogan “Simply Scouting.” There were plenty of opportunities to learn new skills, with each display area providing something new and enabling everyone to be kept busy.
