Recommendation nr 4. That the World Committee, in the future way of work, seeks the practical help and sponsorship of the member organisations in fostering its aims.

Rationale: As has been pointed out, ISGF is more than the World Committee but better use could be made of Member Organisations, co-opting their help in projects, in development, in translations, in facilitating and a host of other activities.

The ISGF World Committee (WCom) has asked several times for help especially for the Communication & PR Team. We have been so lucky to have volunteers as webmaster, contentmanager, graphic designers and more members that are simply ready to support the web-team.

The ISGF leaflet we published in August 2003 and its reprint in June 2006 in English/French is sold out and outdated. If you find some of these old leaflets please don’t use them.

The text and the photos of the new ISGF leaflet have been adjusted to the present situation in ISGF. It is focusing on what benefits there are of being a member of ISGF.

Facebook and Twitter are two of the most used and useful internet Social Networking tools. Facebook is a social networking website with more than 500 million active users. And for years also ISGF is using it to network our members and I believe also friends of Adult Scouting and Guiding. Currently, in August 2010, we have 2.359 members.

You are warmly invited to join us. Register on Facebook http://www.facebook.com, sign in, type »ISGF« in Search field, join the conversations and share your ideas, photos, videos, useful links.

Eric Khoo (Malaysia) member of the WOSM World Board has been officially appointed to join ISGF World Committee on November 25, 2009.

Eric replaces Georges El Ghorayeb (Lebanon) who has been the WOSM representative since 2006.

During World Committee meeting in March 2009 Paul Lokossou from Benin, member of World Committee, donated a beautiful tapestry.

This wall hanging was created by artisans of the Historical Museum of Abomey (Benin).

At this quilt the so-called needleturn applique method has been used where you turn the material under the edges of the shapes as you sew them to the background.

It shows Africa in its diversity, with each of its countries. All animals on this piece are royal symbols. This piece of art got a prominent place in the office of World Bureau.
