Partenaires

Scouting does not exist in isolation; it is part of the community and it needs to work in partnership with others, from individuals to organisations and institutions at local, national and world levels.

Message du Secretaire Général pour la Journée Internationale des Volontaires 2011

Chers frères et sœurs scouts,

Chaleureuses salutations à l'occasion de la Journée Internationale des Volontaires 2011!

Le volontariat a toujours été au cœur du Mouvement Scout depuis sa création il y a plus d'un siècle. Cela s’est reflété au fil des ans par notre système de formation en constante amélioration, par notre soutien et par la récompense des bénévoles, aux niveaux local et mondial du Mouvement. Aujourd'hui encore, l'OMMS est l'une des très rares organisations travaillant avec les enfants et les jeunes, à fonctionner presque entièrement grâce aux contributions et efforts des volontaires.

The youth are watching...

In 2005, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol ( CMP) at its first meeting in Montreal, by its Decision 1/CMP.1, established the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP). The aim of the AWG-KP is to discuss future commitments for industrialized countries under the Kyoto Protocol. The AWG-KP reports directly to the CMP.

In addressing the delegates to the conference, as part of the Youth Constituent statement, Quintin Combrink from South Africa Scout Association (SASA) said, “Climate change is the moral issue facing both my and your generation….young people here doubt the political will of parties.” He called for a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, which will last for 5 years or less and for it to start by January 2013. He closed firmly by saying that, “the youth are watching, we are listening and we will be acting.”
