jonathanrbaker Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Laudable idea. Looks like a Girl Scout award, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridgeskip Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I think that's a little dismissive of you Jonathan. BP himself was passionate about world peace and his words following the First World War are incredibly inspiring. This scheme comes from WOSM http://www.scout.org/information_events/events/joti/2011/theme_1/mensajeros_de_la_paz Personally I would like to see far more of this sort of thing.

jonathanrbaker Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was talking about the actual patch design, not the spirit of the award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 JB, The MoP logo is an international one, and one that has its origins in the 2007 WSJ, if not earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridgeskip Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Jonathan, my apologies for misunderstanding! My troop have been developing links with the Anne Frank Trust here in the UK to act as peer educators and we are going to try and tie that project in with this.

jonathanrbaker Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 No problem! I should have been clearer in my remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callooh! Callay!1428010939 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It's a Saudi Arabian initiative. All sounds nice - as do numerous other such propaganda initiatives that come out of the KSA. http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentid=20110928109610 We don't need it. It's redundant in light of the Scout Oath and Law. We can do the same good without it. Anyway, wearing a patch to announce one's self as a Messenger of Peace seems a little exhibitionist.
