>WHAT'S THE WORLD SCOUT CENTER?
>
>In the Scout Movement, each person has a responsibilty to take up,
> a role to
>play within the team. To do this it's essential to develop values
> such as
>solidarity and cooperation.
>
>This way the young Scout discovers people similar to him and
> learns to work
>in a team with them in order to make a contribution to projects in
> the local
>community, at national and international level.
>
>To highlight this commitment of the Scout Movement with the
> community, the
>World Scout Centre (WSC) has been set up in Picarquin. In the
> centre of the
>site the WSC will develop its activities in a large tent of 2700
> square
>meters where you can find the exhibition stands of each country
> taking part.
>
>In each one you have the opportunity to discover and to learn
> about the
>different development projects carried out by Scout associations,
>international and Chilean organisations.
>
>The WSC is open to all and it is possible to participate actively
> in the
>project with the aim to motivate and encourage you to organize
> similar
>activities in your local communities.
>
>Quality of life
>
>Each project is being presented is a concrete contribution to the
>development of the community and a social commitment to the
> improvement of
>quality of life of children, young people and adults.
>
>One such project is "Scouting working with abandonded children" in
> Brasil.
>Others relate to nature conservation and natural resources such as
> the
>project 'Guardianes del Agua' (Guards of the Water), presented by
> Argentina
>or the Canadian project 'Trees for Canada', which in addition to pr
>omoting
>forestation, also shows young peope to value and respect nature.
>
>Solidarity is another theme with France presenting a project for in
>tegration
>of the handicapped and humanitarian assistance to Guatemalan
> refugees.
>
>Or there is the Colombian project which aims to train young Scouts
> in the
>field of peace education and tolerance allowing them to go on to tr
>ain
>non-Scout leaders and develop initiatives in their local
> communities.
>
>All projects are interesting and meet the criteria of the Movement
> which
>were established at the International Symposium of the Scout
> Movement -
>youth without frontiers, solidarity and cooperation - which was
> held in
>Marrakech in 1994.
>
>It is important to point out that visiting to and participating in
> the WSC
>is one of the requirements for obtaining the Peace badge.
>
>World organisations

> Village.
>It consists of several pavilions of different national and
> international
>non-Scout organisations such as Unicef, Unesco, the World Health
>Organisation (WHO), Amnesty International, Opcion, CONAMA and
> several
>others.
>
>The main function of the international organisations is to
> contribute to
>peace and security all over the world and to promote cooperation
> between
>countries in fields such as education, health, science, human
> rights and the
>freedom of each human being without distinction of race, sex,
> religion or
>language.

> which they
>are interested in.
