–?? ?Regional seminar concludes todayThe last of four seminars conducted throughout the Caribbean by the scouting fraternity got underway at the headquarters of the Scout Association of Guyana on Friday last. The Regional Seminar on Educational Methods, which focuses on Adults in Scouting and the Youth Programme of the movement, saw the participation of 28 scouts, including members from Guyana,Chuck Howley Cowboys Jersey, Grenada,Bob Griese Dolphins Jersey, Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent.Operations Executive for the Caribbean, Trinidadian Ronald Richardson said these seminars aim to provide the training and knowledge necessary for a ‘re-thinking’ of the entire scouting system, particularly as it relates to incorporating the ideas of young people.Scout leaders are here for the Regional Seminar“In an effort to move away from the old system, a new approach that takes the concerns and inputs of young people is necessary. Young people are supposed to be responsible for their own development. These programmes aim to shape mechanisms that would help to incorporate their ideas and also transform the mind-set of leaders on how they implement programmes.Richardson said that while scouting has been growing in the Caribbean, the rate is not as fast as it could be, but the fraternity believes that this will improve as a new and more modern approach is adopted and implemented.“The involvement of more non-members in scouting will also serve to attract new membership because when they come and participate in various activities they will get a first-hand view of what scouting is all about. They can then go out there and spread the word,Babe Ruth Red Sox Jersey, not only becoming members themselves,Jerseys From China Online, but encouraging others to come on board also,Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys,” he said.Other visiting leaders participating in the seminar included Ralf Dillmann Trau, Adults in Scouting Director, and Mauricio Calderon, Youth Programme Director,Pablo Sandoval Red Sox Jersey, both based in Panama.President of the Scout Association of Guyana, Ramsay Ali, and other leaders of the local body and visiting scouts opened the seminar with a luncheon on Friday at the association’s headquarters. The seminar will conclude today.
