In an effort to participate in activities for Haiti support and be a part of the world initiatives, Korea Scout Association (KSA) held a charity bazaar and conducted a fundraising campaign.

The bazaar was held during the annual general meeting on 22nd February, Baden Powell's birthday and was titled “Scout Law 3. A SCOUT IS HELPFUL”. A great many items were arranged from scout souvenirs to daily necessities such as scarves, woggles, camping equipment and rice. Hundreds of scouts and leaders were gathered at the National Training Center of KSA to participate in the event.

The fundraising campaign was launched on 15th January with the setting up of 2 collection boxes in the lobby of KSA and National Training Centre. KSA also advised 20 local councils to promote the campaign to each province in order to make it a nationwide event. It also got the utmost out of the online system by delivering a promotional e-mail to 330,000 scouts and leaders and triggering a pop-up window on the KSA website during the event.

The event ended in great success with the collection of KRW 17,683,340 (about USD 15,500) thanks to the deep interest and contribution from the participants, especially the president of KSA, Kang Young-Joong, who donated USD 9,100 for the benefit of the suffering population of Haiti.
