IN MEMORIAM

31 July 1914 - 10 April 2012

France mourns a great man, Raymond Aubrac, who, had been one of the major members of Resistance during the Nazi occupation of France during WWII with his wife Lucie (who saved him from prison and death). Éclaireuses Éclaireurs de France (EEDF) and Anciens Éclaireuses Éclaireurs de France (AAEE, member of the French ISGF) are deeply affected by his death.

On Saint George’s Day scouts, guides and Fellowship members remind themselves of their Promise and of the Scout/Guide Law.

Saint George was chosen by B-P, Chief Scout of the World, to be the association's patron. In the handbook "Scouting for Boys," Baden-Powell recounted that the Knights of the Round Table had adopted Saint George as their patron because he was the only one of all the saints who had been a horseman.

The Central Branch group of San Jorge Guild, Chile, will be the host for this Forum. They will be assisted by the local sea rangers, Union de Scout Marinos de Chile (USMC). It is the third time that there is such a gathering/camporee in South America. The first one was in Cordoba - Argentina, the second event took place in Piriapolis – Uruguay and now the third one in Quilpué, Chile. The Central Branch countries in this region want to establish a sub-region South America.

Guiding Centenary

Dear members of ISGF,

Dear friends from all over the world,

Celebrating the last year of the Guiding Centenary, I would like all of us to join WAGGGS and SHARE the starting of a new era of changing lives.

Millions of girls changed their lives, playing the game B-P left us, GUIDING, so we must continue to cherish and stimulate this movement, so many more Girls and Women can profit from it.
