rename?

[edit]

As now neither organization is recognized by WOSM, should we revert the name of this article to "Scouting in Belarus"? Chris 18:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that you should rename the page. It's part if Scoutnig history in Belarus, even if page conteins a lot of mistakes.

That discussion is long over, my friend, the name is as it is now. :) Chris 00:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes

[edit]

1. Organization of Mr. Kostevich never been headquartered in Hrodna. 2. Spelling of the names in Belarusian and Russian mixed everywhere. This particular organization NEVER used Belarusian language. 3. Was never supported by Catholic Church. etc.

Thank you, we encourage you to make those changes, but we would like documentation if you can find it. Yours in Scouting, Chris

Chris, what kind of documents you need to correct language spelling? %) If you had an information about scout motto in Belarusian for NSAB - tell me that because leaving in Belarus I NEVER heard them even using Belarusian language. Yours in Scouting, Kastus

Kastus, moi brat! Glad to see you! I had hoped it was you! :) Now that I know who 213.184.249.238 is, I can vouch that you know of what you speak, and will make the necessary corrections. I had not heard from you in a while, I am so glad you are around!
The mistakes were made primarily because it is so difficult to get correct information out of your country. I have been worried about you, brother. Vash brat, Chris 23:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

World Scout Bureau, Central Office Bureau Mondial du Scoutisme, Siège Rue du Pré-Jérôme 5 P.O. Box 91 1211 Geneva 4 Plainpalais Switzerland Phone (+41 22) 705 10 10 Fax (+41 22) 705 10 20 Email worldbureau@world.scout.org Web scout.org 4 June 2010 Circular N°17/2010 To: International Commissioners Belarusian Republican Scout Association (BRSA) Dear Colleagues,

The World Scout Bureau has received an application from the Belarusian Republican Scout Association for re-recognition by the World Organization. In accordance with the requirements of the Constitution of WOSM, the World Scout Committee considered this application at its meeting on 20-21 March 2010, and recommended that it be accepted. Under the terms of Article VI.2 of the WOSM Constitution, "if within three months the recommendation is unopposed or opposed by less than five per cent of the Member Organizations", BRSA will be declared a member, as the National Scout Organization of Belarus, of the World Organization of the Scout Movement as from 5 September 2010. Affirmative votes are not required.

Yours sincerely, Luc Panissod Secretary General Enclosure: information on BRSA Belarusian Republican Scout Association (BRSA)

The Republic of Belarus is a country located in Eastern Europe. Its neighboring countries are Russia in the northeast, Ukraine in the south, Poland in the west, and Lithuania and Latvia in the northwest. Its capital is Minsk. Belarus has a population of 9.85 million. More than 80% of the population is native Belarusians, with sizable minorities of Russians (11.4%), Poles (3.9%) and Ukrainians (2.4 %).

The first Belarusian Scout groups were created in 1909: however, Scouting's development stopped during the Soviet regime. During its rebirth as from 1989, it benefited from the positive impact of the Operation of Solidarity with the Children of Chernobyl launched by WOSM and UNESCO in 1990. Further contacts and exchanges in particular with Belgian, French and Luxembourg Scouts helped the creation of many Scout groups. During the following years, Scouting in Belarus, discreetly but steadily, developed and expanded throughout the territory.

In March 1998, the Belaruskaya Natsianalnaya Skautskaya Asatsiyatsia, in Belarusian, and Belarosskaya Natsionalnaya Skautskaya Assotsiatsia, in Russian, was declared a Member, as the National Scout Organization of the Republic of Belarus, of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. In May 2001, Belarus hosted the first Eurasia Regional Scout Conference. In 2004, Belarus was expelled from WOSM for non-compliance with its constitutional obligations. The association has, however, continued its activities since the termination of its membership.

Since then the situation has much improved. The Organization is well structured and has a clear and democratic decision-making process. It benefits from governmental support, while being fully independent, and has developed good relationships with other youth organizations, the Orthodox Church and local authorities. It has kept contacts with foreign Scout associations and will participate to the second Baltic Jamboree that will take place this summer in Lithuania. Young leaders were also invited to participate to training courses of the Eurasia Region.

In term of education, BRSA has a Youth Program, which, according to BRSA leaders, meets the need of young people in the association and in society today. It has an active strategy to recruit youth members and support youth involvement at all levels. Gender policy is facilitated by the national culture and the education system. The composition of the National board and the membership reflects these two aspects. The adult policy aims at supporting leadership and recruitment of volunteers and there is a training scheme for leaders, and training is carried out regularly.

The membership of BRSA totals 1,200 (Cub Scouts: 12%, Scouts 44%, Rovers: 40% and Adult leaders: 4%) and is widespread across the country but predominantly in Minsk and in the Grodno area (respectively 50% and 21% of the membership).

The Constitution of the Belarusian Republican Scout Association has been checked thoroughly and approved by the Constitution Committee. Two missions to visit the association were undertaken in November 2008 and May 2010 to assess the situation de visu. The conclusion is that BRSA fully meets the requirements for re-admission to WOSM membership.

In becoming a member of WOSM, BRSA will become, as it so desires, a member of the Eurasia Scout Region.
