Sir William Garth Morrison, former member of the World Scout Committee, passed away on 24 May 2103 after a brief period of illness. Garth was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 8 April 1943. He was Chief Scout of The Scout Association (United Kingdom) from 1988 to 1996, and served as a member of the World Scout Committee from 1992 to 2001. He was a Baden-Powell Fellow and was awarded the Bronze Wolf in 2004.

A delegation of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) headed by the Asia Pacific Regional Chairman Dr. Chao Shou-Po is visiting Yangon to strengthen the re-establishment of Scouting in Myanmar. It is nearly after five decades that a WOSM delegation is visiting Myanmar. The delegation had long discussions with the Ministry of Education led by the Deputy Minister His Excellency U Aye Kyu, who was a Scout himself and even attended the meeting in Scout uniform.

السادة رؤساء وأعضاء الحركة الكشفية بالجمعيات الكشفية العربيةالسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتهبالاشارة لدعوة جمعيتكم الموقرة للمشاركة فى المؤتمر الكشفى العربى الـ (27) المقرر إقامته بقصر الأمم (نادى الصنوبر) بالجزائر خلال الفترة من 24 – 30 مايو (آيار) 2013 إن شاء الله، يسرنى أن أضع بين أيديكم :

Dear / Chairmen and members of the Arab Scout OrganizationsI refer to your invitation to take part in the 27th Arab Scout Region Conference due to be held during the period 24-30/5/2013 in Algeria.

أعزائي قيادات الحركة الكشفية على كافة الأصعدة،
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
يسرُّني إبلاغكم أن الإقليم الكشفى العربى بالمنظمة الكشفية العالمية يُعِد حالياً – بالتعاون مع منظمة الصحة العالمية، لفعاليات يوم الصحة العالمي في السابع من نيسان/أبريل 2013.
وموضوع يوم الصحة العالمي لهذا العام هو ارتفاع ضغط الدم، ونهدف من هذا التعاون لتحقيق ما يلي:

• زيادة الوعي بين عموم الناس بخطورة ارتفاع ضغط الدم؛
• تعريف الناس بعوامل الخطر والممارسات غير الصحية التي تؤدي إلى ارتفاع ضغط الدم؛
• التوعية بسُبُل الوقاية من ارتفاع ضغط الدم.

As it was a new approach of this type of gatherings and it could not be considered as a gathering or a workshop in its traditional

aspect. Moreover, it was full of joy and pleasure, where you can touch a high scouting spirit and a great intention - among the participants- to support the Scout Movement.

The Arab Scout Regional Office in close cooperation with FAO (providing its technological experiences as a support and presented the Arab Scout observatory to the Arab Region), and Arab Council of Childhood and Development (providing technical and cognitive support in the field of protecting children from harm); organized the 3rd Executives of Scout websites in Arab NSOs.
