2016 Interntional peace day message from chairperson Nigeria scout advisor
Brothers Sister Scouts
As we join the world to celebrate INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY I urge all scouts to keep the good virtues of scouting that promotes peace.
BADEN POWELL once said “The most worthwhile thing is to put happiness in the life of others”, “happiness is not mere pleasure, not outcome of wealth but the outcome of active work rather than passive enjoyment” hence at all times we should put our best actively to work and to do our duties as MESSENGERS OF PEACE knowing fully well “will never fail when we tryb to do our duty, we only fail when we neglect to do it” BADEN POWELL
Let’s not also forget the scout law 4 that says “A scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other scout no matter to what country class or creed the other may belong” so let us all see ourselves as brothers and sisters and love each other, because LOVE brings PEACE.
Let us work together as scouts CREATING A BETTER WORLD where we will embrace death together and no more will to murder one another. No child will be left uncared for, no one man will stand above his brother and sister claiming superiority, but we will move forward together. Worshipers may call out to their god among those who call out to others. Trust, respect, care and love will flow like rivers in our hearts. PEACE STARTS WITH ME
AM PROUD TO BE A SCOUT AND AM PROUD TO BE A MESSENGER OF PEACE
Yours in Scoutings
