O From the CSE
Together, for Peace
How Scouts from around the world
can join the movement.
SOON, WE'LL BE ENTERING the season in which "Peace on Earth" will be
on the lips of many as we embrace the holidays. I can't think of a better
time of year to encourage everyone in the Boy Scouts of America to take
part in World Scouting's Messengers of Peace initiative.
Messengers of Peace is a 10-year effort by the 161 National Scout
Organizations of the World Organization of the Scout Movement to
involve individual Scouts, as well as the national Scout organizations
from all six worldwide regions, in peace-building activities.
As a part of this program, Scouts from all over the
world can earn international recognition in the form of
"Mini Nobel Prizes" for significant community-service
projects. This idea was conceived in the belief that
through these acts of community service, Scouts across
the world can contribute to world peace.
It's a marvelous notion, and I can't say enough
about the support of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
(a great friend of Scouting) and King Carl Gustaf of
Sweden (the Honorary Chairman of the World Scout
Foundation) for launching this initiative in September.
We know that Scouts all over the world already are
active in peaceful endeavors. Through Messengers for
Peace, the hope is that Scouts will take those existing
community programs and expand their impact toward
global peace.
No matter whether Scouts are from Saudi Arabia,
Sweden, the United Kingdom, Mexico, or Des
Moines, Iowa, they all share a common bond. Never
before have we intentionally focused the attention of
30-million-plus Scouts around the world on the idea
that no matter where they live, they can participate
in fostering peace through community service. More
information on the application process can be found
at messengersofpeace.info.
Messengers of Peace is an inspiring way to gather our young people
to bring calm to a world that's so desperately in need of acts of kind-
ness. My holiday wish for the BSA is that we set the example for others
as we take part in this historic moment for world peace.
