On Sunday, November 25, 2018, the section of the Paris region of FAAS (Federation of Friends and Alumni of French Scouting), the National Scout and Guide Fellowship (NSGF) in France, celebrated the Fellowship Day; with a few days late, of course, but what does it matter!
Our journey has come to its end.
After three years of expectation, the moment had come for us to welcome our friends from countries of the Mediterranean and from many other countries in Athens! The 16th Mediterranean Gathering and the 5th Southern Europe Gathering were held from 19-24 October 2018 in Athens, at the Titania Hotel. After that, many participants took a trip to the Peloponnese, based on the city of Kalamata (24-27 October 2018).
The 15th AsPac Regional Gathering was organised by NSGF Sri Lanka on the 5-8 of September 2018. It was hosted at Global Tower Hotel, Colombo, Sri Lanka. We were about 75 from 9 countries (Australia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Maldives, New Zealand, Pakistan & Sri Lanka). We were welcomed by a warm opening dinner with Sri Lankan cultural dance and inspiring speeches. The Vice Chairman of ISGF, Zalillah Mohd Taib was also present.
This year Poznan, the capital of the Polish Province Great Poland, hosted the 9th Conference of our Central Europe Sub Region (CESR) from 5 – 9 September 2018. All delegates and observers and guests had been accommodated in the student’s hotel of the nearby university, very close to the historic centre of the town. More than 60 participants – delegates, observers and guests- took part in the conference and 10 of our member countries had been present, either personally or by proxy. Only Latvia was absent without a valid excuse.
The Western Europe sub-regional gathering was held from 8 – 12 October 2018 in Eastbourne, England. We started our trip with some flying from Cork and some from Dublin including myself. Everything was in full swing when we arrived as it was a bit later than expected. I was greeted by my friend Jane whom I had met at my first ISGF trip to Slovakia. Throughout the first few days I was constantly surprised by friends I had made on that trip.
The 29th NBSR meeting was organised by Sweden on the 24-28 of August 2018. It was hosted at Hotel Scandic Crown right in the heart of Gothenburg just next to the Central Station. We were 65 members from the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden as well as representatives from Australia, Belgium, England, Germany and The Netherlands.
The gathering started on the 10 of August with delegates from Zambia and Zimbabwe in attendance. The Chairman of the ISGF World Committee, Mathius Lukwago, was also present as well as Henry Lukwele Africa Region Chairperson.
Dear Friends.
HAPPY FELLOWSHIP DAY,
I bring to you my and the ISGF World Committee’s greetings for Fellowship Day.
We would like to congratulate all the sub-regions and regions which have held their gatherings and wish all who are yet to have theirs to have fruitful gatherings. We would like to congratulate all the Individuals elected to steer their respective regions/sub-regions to great heights, and we urge them to work extra hard.
The ISGF World Committee is pleased to announce the appointment of Nathalie Henrard as the next Secretary General of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF).
During the 17th Africa Region Scout Conference held, from 7-11 September 2018, in Harare, Zimbabwe a Certificate of Appreciation was presented to Henry Lukwele, Chairman of the ISGF Africa Region, by Dr. Wayne Davis, Chairman of the Africa Scout Committee.
