Mentioned this in another thread. Here's where to find more info:

Laudable idea.

 

Looks like a Girl Scout award, though...

I think that's a little dismissive of you Jonathan. BP himself was passionate about world peace and his words following the First World War are incredibly inspiring. This scheme comes from WOSM

Personally I would like to see far more of this sort of thing.

I was talking about the actual patch design, not the spirit of the award.

JB,

 

The MoP logo is an international one, and one that has its origins in the 2007 WSJ, if not earlier.

Jonathan, my apologies for misunderstanding!

 

My troop have been developing links with the Anne Frank Trust here in the UK to act as peer educators and we are going to try and tie that project in with this.

No problem! I should have been clearer in my remarks.

Start with this.....

 

 

Then go back to the OP link.

It's a Saudi Arabian initiative. All sounds nice - as do numerous other such propaganda initiatives that come out of the KSA. http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentid=20110928109610

 

We don't need it. It's redundant in light of the Scout Oath and Law. We can do the same good without it. Anyway, wearing a patch to announce one's self as a Messenger of Peace seems a little exhibitionist.
