dialogue to cross bordersand promote tolerance

We cross borders through inter-cultural, inter-generational,and inter-religious dialogue. And in doing so, we promote a

culture of equality and tolerance. Scouting is about learning tolive together: about developing an adherence to the values ofdemocracy, justice and peace; an appreciation of interdependenceand teamwork; and an understanding of other people.

Scouts work in teams, each with one team leader. According totheir capacities, they decide how to organize their life as a group,and share their responsibilities.

lifelong values,skills and capabilities

Scouts make a voluntary commitment to abide by an ethicalcode of behaviour. The principles that rule a Scouts life can begrouped in three categories: duty to God, duty to others, andduty to self.

The whole educational process within Scouting consists ofenabling young people to gradually understand these values,adhere to them, and make them their own so that theypermeate their behaviour throughout life.

As a Scout I really enjoyed

camping and hiking. I alsolearned a lot - includingsurvival skills, importance ofdiscipline, and responsibility

we have towards othermembers of society.

Scouting provides an earlytraining ground - it is a

way to prepare for theresponsibilities of globalcitizenship.

As the Secretary Generalof the United NationsI continue to draw on thoseexperiences. I am proud tohave been a Scout.
