Geneva, 10 March 2010 -- On the 8th of March, the security service of the United Kingdom submitted to the National Archives three bundles of declassified documents covering a period extending from 1937 to 1944. The World Scout Bureau acquired these documents for examination. These were essentially notes from the police declaring the coming and going of members of the Hitler Youth in the UK. Other parts are under the heading of the Nazi youth movement.

It is with horror and dismay that we heard about the tragedy which struck Chile and it's people.

On-behalf of the World Scout Committee, the Word Scout Bureau and your 30 million brothers and sisters around the world, I wish to share with you the sorrow and dismay that we feel for the Chilean population, and especially for our friends of the Asociacion de Guias y Scouts de Chile who are in emotional and physical pain due to this catastrophe.
