Japanese Brownies

[edit]

I'm not at all sure that Japanese Brownies are called Watakushi as this page suggests - that is a word meaning 'I' (like watashi). The [1] website suggests they are just called 'Brownies', but I have emailed the organisation to check and will report back if I get a response. -- Lucy (a wiki newbie - be gentle!)

Thanks, Lucy, I don't know either, not (yet) speaking Japanese, would love to know what you find out. Chris 00:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Attention tag

[edit]

Needs updating, verification, and programs expansion. Rlevse 18:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And we could use most of the articles at ja:Category:スカウト活動, especially these people.

and to find how Emperor Hirohito, Viscount Makoto Saito and General Maresuke Nogi are related to Scouting through the Japanese Wikipedia.

Classification

[edit]

With a B-Class rating, I'd rather expect a bit more info in the article. I didn't re-grade it but explicitly retained the immediate-attention-required rating as well. Unfortunately, my Japanese is rather lowly, and therefore I cannot grab info from the Japanese article. I hope others can step in. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Is there a reverse way to tag the Japanese article with the request for translation _from_ it? Chris 02:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mine is nonexistent, that was one of my goals to learn before Sheri died, this year. Sorry. Chris 23:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Change to translation request

[edit]

I have translated the article ja:日本ジャンボリー as Nippon Jamboree. It was submitted as a source of information for this article, but I felt it would make more sense to add it separately.

However, there is a lot more information that could be added at ja:ボーイスカウト (essentially all of Section 2), so I have changed the translation note on the article page to point to that. If anyone is interested in having this information added, maybe they could resubmit the request. --Grgcox 15:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

section that needs translation, please help

Introduction

[edit]

"Although Scouting activity was minimal during World War II, membership in 2001 was 165,544." - I don't see an immediate connection...should they be split in two sentences, or did I miss something? Ornilnas 11:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, that's horrible, and I don't know when it got changed. Yes, please split it. Chris 14:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

citation

[edit]

There was a citation request to "Fuji Scout". Kiku Scout (translates to Chrysanthemum Scout) is the highest rank in Boy Scouts section. "Fuji Scout" is the highest rank in Venture Scouts section. Please refer to section 2.2 of ja:ボーイスカウト

Regarding the uniform, please cite the source for "Scouts favor the Smokey Bear style hats". The official uniform for Boy Scout section and above is green beret. --Shun1990 01:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1916 photograph source

[edit]

Could someone find a source of that "A 1916 photograph of Japanese Boy Scouts drilling with rifles" ? The discussion page at wikimedia commons "Japan drills Boy Scouts with rifles 1916.png" raises a question whether those kids are really a member of Boy Scouts or not. There are many other youth groups in Japan besided Boy Scouts, and these kids in the photo aren't even wearing a uniform or any insignia of a Scout! Japanese government started its own militarized youth movement on public schools during WWII like the hitler youth, which clearly is a different organization from Boy Scouts, so whoever uploaded this photo may have mistaken the fact. Anyone, please post your comment or source; if nothing heard, I would like to delete the photo from this article. --Tomyan (talk) 13:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami‎

[edit]

http://www.scout.or.jp/newtopics/110311earthquake_english.html 14 March 2011 Dear colleagues, The extremely powerful earthquake struck Japan on March 11, whose epicenter was beneath the Pacific off the coast of northeast Honshu and the subsequent tsunami caused immense damage and great loss of life. As you may know, a large area along the eastern seaboard was devastated and the death toll is expected to exceed 10,000. Although the full extent of the destruction has yet to be clarified, extraordinary scenes of devastation are becoming known with every passing day. At present, the national and prefectural governments are endeavoring to rescue victims and support communities, including many thousands of people in temporary accommodation. The Scout Association of Japan is trying to confirm the safety of Scouts and related people through the prefectural Scout Councils of Miyagi, Iwate, Fukushima, Ibaraki, and Aomori, the prefectures severely affected by this disaster, and investigating the impact on the prefectural Scout Councils themselves. However, since telecommunications and transportation to and within the affected areas are still limited, we have been able to obtain very little information so far. We are making preparations for the dispatch of volunteers to assist the victims and help restore the affected areas in cooperation with prefectural governments. We greatly appreciate the generosity and thoughtfulness of the many national Scout organizations that have offered us help. However, as the Japanese government is in the midst of coordinating offers of assistance received from various countries, organizations and individuals, we are not in a position to receive assistance at present. Inspired by our desire to see normal life restored as soon as possible, we are determined to do our best in these difficult circumstances. Yours sincerely, Kunisada Kume International Commissioner 20 March 2011 Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Scout Association of Japan (SAJ), I would like to extend my gratitude to brothers and sisters in Scouting around the world for expressing sympathy and condolence toward the people who have suffered the severe damage from the recent earthquake and tsunami. One week has passed since the incident, the number of death and people missing are reported to more than 25,000 and about 334,000 people are evacuated. We confirmed some loss of Scouts and leaders in Miyagi Scout Council and many others are evacuated into temporary accommodations. All of the Scout Councils in the affected area were damaged and have lost their function. However, Scouts of those Councils are already out in the field trying to do whatever is necessary to support others while they are also the victims of the incident. Scouts and leaders in other area of Japan have started collecting money immediately. Some Scouts of other NSOs who are studying in Japan have also joined their neighbor groups for raising money campaign. Right now, it is still in the stage to send materials and volunteers through prefectural government and we are asking our members to do whatever they can do at their local level. Planned blackout due to the damage of the Fukushima nuclear power plant is limiting the operation of SAJ Head office as well. We would like to give our most sincere thanks for the countless email messages offering support both economical and manpower. However, because of the nuclear threat and other organizational system in Japan, SAJ is still not in the stage of accepting volunteers from outside Japan at present. Therefore, we have been able to provide the information about the bank account for those who wish and are able to support the affected area and the recovery activities. Financial report of the contribution received will be accounted on our website in appropriate time when the recovery efforts have settled down. We will keep you updated on our website (www.scout.or.jp). Once again, many thanks for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Yours sincerely, Kunisada Kume International Commissioner

Scout Promise

[edit]

The English translation of the Scout Promise in this article differs from what is shown in the Scout Promise page.

From the Scout Association of Japan page:

On my honor, I promise to do my best, to do my duty to god/Buddha and the country, And to obey the Scout laws, to help other people at all times and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

From the Scout Promise page:

I swear on my honor to uphold the following three practices: To act in good faith towards God and my country, and uphold the [Scout] law. To always help other people. To strengthen my body, to make sound my mind, and to cultivate virtue.

Scouting was first introduced to Japan by a professor in Hiroshima College in 1909. However, it was not until 1915 that Scouting started to spread around the country. The Federation of Boy Scouts of Japan was formed in 1922 and became one of the founding members of the International Scout Conference. In 1944, due to the war, the Federation was dissolved, but Scouting continued. After the war in 1946, the National Association of the Boys Scouts of Nippon was established and resumed the full membership of the World Scout Conference in 1951. Scouting Facts: Japan Item Code FS260049 Mar07 Edition no 2 (103692) In 1971, Japan was host to the 13th World Scout Jamboree which was held at Asagiri Heights in the foothills of Mount Fuji. The Jamboree was attended by 23,758 Scouts from 87 countries. The 23rd World Scout Conference was held in Tokyo after the World Jamboree. A National Jamboree is held in Japan every four years, attended by Scouts from all over the world. For older Scouts named Venture Scouts, a National Camp called "Nippon Venture" is held every four years between National Jamborees since 1983. Scouting in Japan has four training sections for the boys and girls. Beavers Promise: 1. I get along with everybody else. 2. I follow the Colony Laws. Colony Laws: 1.
