16 Ambassadors present at Nordic Baltic Gathering
Congratulations to the Norwegian committee for organising an excellent Nordic Baltic Gathering at the beginning of June 2025. Hotell Borge and its surroundings were wonderful, and a variety of activities gave us time to get to know each other and learn about the history and culture of the area around Tønsberg. Among other things we were given a talk on the Viking ship being built by volunteers, sailed down to the World’s End on the Scouts’ boats, and enjoyed a barbecue with some lovely music and singing.
I was given the opportunity to present a slide show about the International Ambassadors Guild (IAG) and the Scout and Guide projects we have recently supported, sharing photographs of some of the projects from 2024 and 2025. Out of the 75 participants at the Gathering, no fewer than 16 were already members of IAG, so it was a great chance to meet our members and to say a big “thank you” for their ongoing support. I was also able to present Life Membership Diplomas to two members who had been Annual Members for ten years.
