Welcome to Brazil
| Message from the President of União dos Escoteiros do Brasil |
União dos Escoteiros do Brasil has worked hard on the preparation of the 39th World Scout Conference and the 11th World Scout Youth Forum and we are glad you will come to spend this week with us. Hosting the main Scout leadership worldwide in our country is a reason to be proud and very happy, but it is also a great responsibility. We will be very honoured to have your presence. We hope that you will enjoy the Conference as much as you possibly can and it will also be an opportunity to be part of the important decisions that the World Scout Movement will make-and also, of course, enjoy the attractions that our country has to offer. We will do our best to make sure that the 39th World Scout Conference and the 11th World Scout Youth Forum reach their goals and can contribute to the creation of a better world. Welcome! My warmest hugs, Rubem Tadeu Cordeiro Perlingeiro |
| Message from the Chairman of the Organizing Committee |
At the 37th World Scout Conference in 2005 in Hammamet, Tunísia, Brazil was elected to host the 39th World Scout Conference and the 11th World Scout Youth Forum – after 100 years, for the first time, it will happen in South America. This was only possible because of our role on the international scene, putting together all the experience gained over many years (and others to come), to achieve our main goal; which is also the main goal of our World Organization, that is, the growth of the Scout Movement in Brazil, Latin America and the World. This has required true hard team work, bringing together the efforts of the Cities of Curitiba and Blumenau, the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina and the government of the Republic of Brazil, as well as our Parliamentary Scout Union, to support and act as fuel to hundreds of volunteers who will make this World Conference a happy and unforgettable reality. It is a privilege to chair a group of women and men so prepared, passionate to the Scout cause, truly responsible and competent. They are volunteers with a professional spirit and professionals with a volunteer spirit. My sincere tribute and recognition to each and every one of them. Thank you all and Be Prepared!
