This booklet has been published to give inspiration to the work in the local guild. The content of this booklet does not pretend to be complete in any way. It is just a collection of suggestions and ideas to choose between or to be inspired by. The suggestions are not written in priority order, and some of them may not be suitable in all areas around the world. Nevertheless, it is the sincere hope of the World Committee that this booklet will find its way to the local guilds where it belongs and that it will be translated into other languages to ensure the best possible use for the benefit of a richer life in the local guilds. This booklet, reshaped with some more ideas, is to be considered as the introduction of “Our Kit” launched in July 2015. All ISGF members can consult it on the ISGF website (www.isgf.org) but some printed versions are also available upon request to the ISGF World Bureau. pdf 1 - Ideas booklet 2016 (241 KB) |

3. Scout/Guide Method for Adult Education What is the Method? The word “method” may have different meanings. It is the way one behaves, the process to reach a goal or to solve a problem. It is the adopted attitude. J.E. Russel, quoted by R. Baden Powell in the book “Aids to scoutmasterhip”, writes: «The most astonishing aspect is not the scout/guide activities but the method: an almost ideal method to lead kids systematically to do the right thing and get the right attitude. The four key-features of the scout/guide method are: character, health and physical strength, hand skill and service to the neighbour, “essential points for the social life that are developed from inside, rather than from outside” (B.P., A guidebook for Scoutmasters, part I, on the Theory of Scout Training). In this handbook we will focus on these four topics, wondering how they can be read considering the adult world and how much they are relevant for the definition of a method. pdf 3 - Scout and guide method for adults 2016 (232 KB) |

6. ISGF - UNHCR This theme brings together our two organizations, the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), attesting to the shared ideal of working for peace in the world. A strong partnership was first established in 2007 and several joint missions have emerged to give life to this collaboration. Today we have the pleasure of sharing this document, which reflects the common desire to strengthen this partnership. We hope that this collaboration, extended for a period of six years and signed on March 22nd, 2012 in Paris, will allow ISGF and UNHCR national representations to implement projects in different countries, in an effort to raise public awareness concerning refugee issues and other persons of concern to UNHCR. |

7. Finances The purpose of this booklet is to give some basic information about finances and the financial impact on the activities in a fellowship on local, national, regional and international level. We will try to give some advice on these matters to be sure that this vital part of our activities is based on good and transparent routines. |
|
8. Emergency assistance Watching the news from around the world, we realize that we must be prepared to react to the catastrophes that happen all time in different parts of the world. |
|
10. Interreligious dialogue Most of us when making the Scout or Guide Promise, mentioned ”Duty to God” the God of each other religion. Nowadays each Scout or Guide Association chooses the way they want to express their Promise. To a Higher Power, to the beliefs of each member or some other expression. |

11. Book of Projects All over the world, ISGF members had, have and plan many projects to develop their Members, Scouting and Guiding and the community.. |
