Scouts Scotland Founders Day

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the 2019 Scouts Scotland Founders Day on 22 February; acknowledges that this date marks the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, and that many Scouts across Edinburgh. Lothian Region, Scotland and the world will mark the day by reaffirming their oaths and celebrating Scouting, with many wearing their uniforms proudly to school on the day; recognises that MSPs are being encouraged to participate in Scouts Scotland’s Youth Advocacy Award badge, which can be earned in the same way that Scouts earn their badges, by completing a number of actions to help them experience the skills for life that Scouts learn, and hope that as many as possible take up that challenge.
