We asked you lately in the publication ISGF Info how you celebrated Fellowship Day on October 25th as Fellowship Day is a very important event so that our ISGF continues and develops in the world.
We start with our Central Branch group CASEGHA, a group of 100 former scouts and girl guides of Haiti, living in New York, USA.
At our gathering for the International Fellowship Day, we just had an opening ceremony to celebrate the 60 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We wanted also to share with the other members who could not attend World Conference 2008 one of the beautiful morning reflexions.
In the picture, some CASEGHA members after lighting their candles, representing the flames of brotherhood, solidarity, non-violence, liberty, peace, life and hope. We were saying ALL TOGETHER: we raise the Flame of the values of Scouting and Guiding.
During the WAGGGS Africa Regional Conference 2007 in Zambia, ISGF had the opportunity to hand over an appreciation certificate to the delegation from Kenya Girl Guide Association (KGGA).
This association was very active in getting the Scout & Guide Spirit Flame started from Baden-Powell's grave and brought it to Ethiopia.

She is very eager to recruit more members and to encourage the Trefoil Guilders as well as past members of Guiding to join ISGF.
Juan Salazar, candidate for next World Committee visited Uruguay on a mission as liaison person for Central Branch in order to inform an enthusiast group of former Scouts and Guides.
Visit to Fraternidad de Antiguos Scouts y Guias del Uruguay (FASGU)
In December 2007 this group of former Scouts and Guides was constituted in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. In 2008 inquiries were made in order to incorporate themselves to the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF).
Leny Doelman, Central Branch Coordinator, provided them with an information kit and she asked Juan Salazar, member of the National Scout and Guide Fellowship in Chile, to assist her to do the follow-up. Juan offered to visit them to inform them about the requirements, benefits and significance in order to become member of ISGF.
