2011 Third Regular Meeting

I recently had the opportunity to attend the National Congress of the Brazilian Scouts Union (BSU) in the City of San Luis.

It was a great experience in many ways. I was able to get up close to one of the largest National Scout Organizations of our Interamerican Region. I was present at the seminar that presented the new Youth Program materials that Escoteiros do Brazil fully developed, using, as a basis, the regional proposal. I also attended seminars for the Lobihno Branch (Cub) and the Pioneiro Branch (Rovers), where Alessandro Garcia, National Commissioner of Educational Methods, assisted by members of his team, introduced new materials, explaining the way they were developed and how they should be implemented in Scout groups.

I was also present at the presentation of new materials for the Management of Adults, where it was explained in detail how to work with them and the advantages of doing so in accordance with the provisions.

The beautiful Panama City, again, became the heart of the Interamerican Region to host the VIII Interamerican Scout Summit 2012. The hot sun, the sea breeze, and, especially, the Scout brotherhood were the ingredients that made this Summit a Scout success.

A great effort was developed to prepare the Summit. This is because the new executive team of the World Scout Bureau, Interamerican Region, arrived in Panama earlier this year, with only a few weeks to prepare their presentations and get incorporated in the preparation work of the Summit.

Since the completion of the 24th Interamerican Scout Conference in August 2010, the top leaders of the National Scout Organizations of the continent did not have the chance to meet again. Their return to Panama allowed them to experience the Regional Office, now fully completed and working, and to meet the new team and their action plans.
