Talk:Boy Scouts of the United Nations

News cite
The Cass City ref that refers to "Boy Scouts of the United Nations" may be a generic reference as the paper was printed before the UN was formed, though it was during the UN's planning stages.Rlevse 12:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but it shows the concept was floating around even prior to the UN's inception. Chris 12:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:LoNScout.jpg
Image:LoNScout.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

http://www.scout.org/en/about_scouting/partners/united_nations/world_scouting_and_the_united_nations The relationship between World Scouting and the United Nations has a long history. Since the early days of the United Nations, Scouts at all levels have been involved in various programmes, initiatives and projects with different UN bodies. This is also part of the Strategy for Scouting.

Today, WOSM is one of the 134 International Non-governmental Organisations with General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council. Scouting is regularly invited to express its views on the topics being discussed in the United Nations, and participates in numerous consultations related to the situation of young people in the world. In addition to this, the location of the World Scout Bureau enables World Scouting to be in close relations with many UN agencies based in Geneva. (Conference Report, Tunisia 2005) - For further information download the guide.

Acting Locally with the UN Locally, Scouting is heavily involved with the UN in many areas, such as:

Child labour Clean water and sanitation Drug abuse prevention Emergencies and humanitarian relief Health HIV/AIDS Life skills training Peace and reconciliation When there is something to do, someone to help, to serve or to rescue, you can always find a Scout ready to make a constructive contribution. The United Nations recognised this great capacity by signing several Memorandums of Understanding with the Scout Movement. All of these agreements are helping Scouting to improve programmes and reach out to the community more effectively. The World Scout Bureau has also recently published a document entitled “Scouting and the United Nations” which gives information on how to work with the UN at the national level.

Advocating Globally The impact of the Scout Movement is not restricted to actions at the local level. World Scouting plays an important role in advocating for improving global policies which are affecting young people. For example, The World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY), adopted by all Member States of the UN in 1995, is being reviewed and monitored with active involvement of the Scout Movement. The fact that the United Nations has adopted its own Youth Policy is recognition of the special attention young people enjoy in countries all over the world. The work on advocacy has been successful in many areas, for example:

Cultural diversity Environment Gender opportunities Humanisation of globalization Millennium Development Goals Non-formal educational Peace and sustainable development The rights of the child Youth employment Youth empowerment Youth policies The cooperation between the UN and Scouting benefits young people all over the world. Through the social force of Scouting and its constructive contribution to the community, we will work to achieve our goals in partnership with the United Nations. We must contribute to strengthen this relationship to make a difference and build a better world. (Conference Report, Tunisia)
