  Message from the Secretary General

Dear sisters and brothers,
In closing his last message to us all, B-P wrote: "...stick to your 
promise always, even after you have ceased to be a boy..." and obviously 
nowadays a girl also.

It is the promise that makes our Movement so different from every other 
youth movement and organisation in society, it is loyalty to that 
commitment that makes us Scouts, rather that simply people dedicating or 
having dedicated some time of our life to Scouting.

Today we commemorate the joint birthday B-P and his wife Olave, in a 
very special historical moment, as B-P's 150th birthday also marks the 
first hundred years from the conception of the idea that would give rise 
to the world's largest youth Movement. In these hundred years, hundreds 
of millions of girls and boys, women and men have made the commitment to 
do their best to leave the world a little better than they found it, and 
in many places and in different moments in time, Scouts have really made 
the difference!

In the present times of increasing disparities, world wide tensions and 
growing conflicts, where due to irresponsible life-styles humanity is 
seriously putting our planet's environmental stability at risk, and so 
grows the dramatic need for more, good Scouts.

Let the centenary year also be the occasion for a special commitment. 
Renewing our Promise today, we should not only look at the past with 
gratitude to B-P, and to all those who opened for us “the road to 
success”, giving us the opportunity to live the unique, exciting and 
involving experience that is Scouting. We should also look with optimism 
and courage toward the future, with the fleur de lys and our promise 
firmly guiding us in the direction of creating a better world.
Yours in Scouting,

Eduardo Missoni
Secretary General
