To everybody who worked enormously to make this project successful, we extend our deep ap-preciation, especially the Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Committee (2004-2007) who have shown great support and dedication throughout the duration of this project.

The Asia Pacific Region salutes to all of you.

Foreword

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome back the Rover Peace Baton in Asia- Pacific Regional Office. After traveling over 40,000 kilometers in 24 countries in Asia- Pacific Region and gathering support and participation from over 200,000 Scouts, Rovers and Leaders, I am happy to know all the stories, activities conducted and the young people experiences in this event.

To everybody who supported, participated and helped in the successful conduct of this event in the 24 countries, my sincere thanks. I hope that the message of Peace and the impact it gave was left in the heart of all the Scouts, Rovers, Leaders, dignitaries and to the general public who became part of this event.

I also pray that although the Baton had already finished its journey, we will continue to spread the real essence of peace in our respective countries. Let us rekindle and include in our Scouting activities the importance of peace in the life of every Scout.

As we are now at the second century of the Scout Movement, let us always have peace in our hearts and take away all the pains and sorrows for us to create a better world.

To everybody, thank you very much and happy centenary.

The Rover Peace Baton is one of the highlights in celebrating the golden anniversary of Scouting here in the Asia Pacific Region. Our region was born here, at the compound of Boy Scouts of the Philippines, in 1956. This was also the reason why Boy Scouts of the Philippines hosted the grand ceremony on 10 March 2007.

All throughout of 2007, Scouts in many parts of the world celebrated 100 years since Lord Baden Powell started Scouting in 1907.

And as we now in the second century of Scouting, I only hope one thing that may this Rover Peace Baton continue to be our symbol of peace, unity and long life to Scouting!

Mabuhay ang Scouting! Mabuhay Philippines!
