MESSAGE H.E. MR. MAMNOON HUSSAIN

PRESIDENT /CHIEF SCOUT PAKISTAN

“The observance of World Scout Day on

22nd February every year signifies

appreciation and recognition of the

invaluable services of thousands of

young scouts across the world who

serve the humanity keeping aside all

consideration of blood, race, creed etc.

It is an occasion to pay tribute to the

founder of the scouting movement Lord

Stephenson Smith Baden Powell and his

followers who provided the youth an

organized platform to render their

services for the welfare of their fellow

beings. On this occasion therefore, I

wish to commend the entire Scouts

fraternity, especially the scouts of

Pakistan, for their continued services to

the humanity and also for serving as a

source of inspiration to the young

people.

The real significance and the true

purpose of the movement was clearly

explained by our Quaid who observed

that ‘Scouting can play a very vital role

in forming the character of our youth,

promoting their physical mental and

spiritual development, and making

them well disciplined, useful and good

citizens.’ Indeed the words of the

Founder of the Nation that “if our

young people learn to befriend all, to

help other people at all times,

subordinate personal interest to the

welfare of others, eschew violence of

thought, word and action” would

continue to serve not only as a great

source of strength for the movement

itself but would remain a great source

of inspiration and guidance to all of us

in our efforts towards nation-building

process.

On this occasion, I would like to

appreciate Pakistan Boy Scouts

Pak-Scouts MONTHLY NEWSLETTER March, 2014 ISSUE # 51

Through this movement the youth have

the opportunities to shape their lives

and serve their communities in a better

way regardless to blood, race & creed.

As such, this is an occasion for all of us

to renew our pledge and commitment

to the noble cause & values of scouting.

The role of Scouts in Peace time and in

disasters has been acknowledged by all

of us. Scouts have proved through their

performance that they are always ready

for a good turn as per their motto “Be

Prepared” and adhere to their promise

and law. I wish to express my

appreciation of the valuable services

rendered by our Scouts during natural

disasters in the country.

Lord Baden Powell in his last message

to the scouts said that “the real way to

get happiness is by giving out happiness

to other people. Try to leave this world

a little better than you found it.”

Accordingly we all should try our best

to improve the environmental

conditions, help others and make the

world a Peaceful place.

Keeping in view the unusual law and

order situation in the country we have

chosen the theme of 2014 as “Peace

through Scouting” and scouts of

Pakistan will play their helpful role to

maintain and promote the peace in

their respective jurisdictions. Also

under this theme more than 5000

scouts will gather in Khairpur, Sindh for

14th National Scouts Jamboree.

We are continuously in the process of

improving our national training and

programme system to meet the

requirements of the youth and leaders

to enable them to face the challenges

of the future.

I appeal to the parents to encourage

their children to join scouts movement.

I also appeal to all the educational

institutions of the country for

establishment of Scout Units in their

respective institutions. I assure to give

all the support and patronage to their

organizations.

I wish the scouting movement in

general and in Pakistan in particular a

greater success and pray that it may

become an important mechanism for

promoting peace and harmony in the

country.

Long live Pakistan and Scouting.
