On 21 April 2025, the Arab Union Federation of Pioneers Scouts and Guides, organized a special online meeting. Ms. Ana Rodrigues, Chairman of the World Committee of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF) was striking and impressive. She joined the virtual meeting with a warm spirit, and her words, filled with confidence and respect, left a positive impact on the hearts of all the pioneers across the Arab world.

Her participation was not just a ceremonial appearance, it was a genuine window that opened new horizons for cooperation and partnership with a prestigious organization like the ISGF. She spoke confidently, presented a clear vision, and showed great interest in the questions raised, answering them with high professionalism that reflected her deep experience and longstanding involvement in international scouting.

The Media and Documentation Committee left this evening—thankfully—with a valuable media asset no less important than the event itself, having secured Ms. Ana’s approval for an exclusive interview. We are now preparing its structure and questions with care, in preparation for publication on the Union’s official platforms.

We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our dear colleagues in the International Relations Committee for this outstanding effort, which reflects the prominent position the Arab Union Federation of Pioneers Scouts and Guides has reached on the international stage.

I would like also to comment Ayman Afifi from Egypt, for his professional management of the evening and for presenting well thought-out questions that reflected a deep understanding of the topic and great skill in dialogue. My heartfelt thanks also go to all my colleagues in the
Media and Documentation Committee for their meticulous follow-up and dedicated efforts in covering the event promptly and professionally. We look forward to more achievements and inspiring meetings in the near future.

Chairman of the Media and Documentation Committee
