Talk:Scouting 2007 Centenary

Individual nations

How do we incorporate the individual nations? --evrik 14:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we can start with a section of what each individual nation is doing outside of the big stuff in the UK, and then see how it goes from there? Horus Kol 15:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

• Sounds good. --evrik 15:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Australia has had and will have more activities to celebrate the centenary of scouting. These need to be found and included. -007bond aka Matthew G aka codingmasters 22:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Malta - Possible Material for Inclusion

There's a news article here about a centenary event by the Scout Association of Malta. I don't know if the information should go in the article or not, so I've put the URL here in case someone wants to include it at a later date. Kingbird 18:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup

I have changed the present or future tense to past tense now the events have happened. There is now a serious urgency to add references for all these events. They should have been mentioned in the press for example. Please add references. --Bduke 22:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• Copy-edited the text. Removed the cleanup-tag. I'm sorry, but while on vacation I only saw it in The Times once, a small article on page 23. I agree that (e.g., for becoming B-Class) there should be more references from after the act, not the announces only. Wim van Dorst (talk) 18:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC).
• I really needs further information and references, but I upped it to B-Class at its current version. Wim van Dorst (talk) 19:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC).

Centenary of Scouting Peace Boomerang

It is suggested that this article be merged here into the Australia section after its content is cut down. It is essentially orphaned and has no independent sources that demonstrate notability. It has not been edited since 2009 apart from a minor edit today that reminded me of this article. Reducing the size of the material to not give undue weight to it in this article will not be difficult. The Australia section already mentions it in some detail. Please discuss below:

• Support as nom. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support merge.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

I have done this merge as there is no opposition and no real interest in the article. --Bduke (Discussion) 10:00, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Page 20 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999Page 19s This group meets informally to discuss matters of common interest to the World Scout Foundation and the World Organization of the Scout Movement.These meetings help to strengthen the relationships between the two organizations, and improve the coordination of fundraising. The group usually meets in conjunction with the World Scout Foundation’s annual board meeting.s After more than a year of work with The Scout Association (UK), the World Scout Committee took a number of decisions during its meeting in April in 1997at Gilwell Park, concerning the celebration of the100th Anniversary of Scouting in 2007:• First, it was agreed - apparently for the first time officially - that Scouting was born on 1st August 1907, the opening day of Baden-Powell’s experimental camp on Brownsea Island.• The centenary is to be celebrated throughout the year 2007 and especially on Wednesday 1st August 2007;• In 2007, the birth of Scouting should be celebrated internationally in the birthplace of the Movement, the United Kingdom, and nationally throughout the world in each country that has a WOSM organization.• The Committee noted that Founder’s Day, 22 February 2007, is also a commemorative date in many countries, and that this date will be the 150th birthday of Scouting’s Founder Robert Baden-Powell. A 2007 Task Force was created at world level, composed exclusively of ex-officio members so as to ensure its continuity. It is headed by the Chairman of the World Scout Committee. The Chief Scout of The Scout Association is Vice-Chairman. The World Scout Foundation is also represented. The task force has met three times: January 1998 at Schloss Marbach, Germany; September 1998 in Munich, Germany; and March 1999 at Baden-Powell House in London. It will meet again in Durban. In July 1977, just before the 90th anniversary of the Brownsea Island camp, are source kit was sent to all Scout associations explaining the decisions taken and suggesting ideas for worldwide celebrations. Each national association was encouraged to also form an ex-officio task force to begin planning and budgeting for 2007. A newsletter entitled Towards 2007 was published in April 1998, and additional information will be made available in Durban, where the formal launching will take place. WSF/WOSM Coordination Group 2007 Task Force for the Centenary of Scouting Brownsea Island, the birthplace of Scouting, was visited by some members of the World Scout Committee and regional chairmen in April 1997, following their meeting at Gilwell Park (UK). At that meeting a number of decisions were taken regarding the celebration of Scouting’s 100th birthday in 2007.
