Geneva, January 18th 2010- throughout the weekend the World Scout Bureau has been on the lookout for any news coming from Haiti and has been successful in contacting the representatives of the National Scouts Association in Haiti. Hundreds of Scouts visited the association’s president, Gerard-Marie Tardieu, regularly, either to offer their assistance or to accept rescue missions. Below are a series of the efforts made so far, as reported to us by our brothers and sisters of the Haitian Scouts.

Contact:
With the collaboration of the National Scouts Association of Haiti, the Scouts et Guides de France and the World Scout Bureau an initiative has been put into place which has mobilized the international scout fraternity.

For further suggestions or information you can reach via the focal point of the operation at the World Scout Bureau, at the following address: haiti-solidarity@scout.org
