We are indeed very happy today, especially G

erakan Pram

uka, because

the 4th APR Scout Leaders Sum

mit w

ill take place in Cibubur Scout Cam

feeling of happiness and gratitude is here, because w

hen w

as rum

ored that due to security reason, this Sum

mit

might take place in another country. Therefore, w

e w

holeheartedly w

elcom

e all

of you, both the participants, i.e. the Asia-Pacific Scout Leaders, and our guests.

We hope that this Sum

mit w

ill provide us the real opportunity to do a kind

of SW

OT analysis – strengths, w

eaknesses, opportunities, threats – in the Scout

movem

ent in the Asia-Pacific Region. H

ave w

e been successful in draw

ing the

attention not only of adults but also of young people to our m

ave

we been able to avoid joining som

hich w

ill keep the young people busy? M

any m

ore ques-

tions can be put forw

ard w

hich w

ill challenge and m

otivate all of us to be com

-

mitted to the cause of our young people.

Last but not least, w

e are also very happy because all of us from

the Asia-

Pacific Region w

ho are present here w

ill have the opportunity to pay tribute to

our Secretary G

eneral, D

r Jacques M

oreillon, w

ho w

ill be leaving W

next

year, 2004. Although he w

ill no longer be the W

OSM

Secretary-G

eneral, I am

sure he w

ill be offering som

e of his tim

movem

ent. This w

ill also be an exam

ple for all of us.

Once again, w

elcom

e to Indonesia, specifically to Cibubur Scout Cam

p.

We hope that you w

ill enjoy your short stay here in Indonesia both on the

Sum

Thank you very m

Tobi Suzuki; dear Abdullah Rasheed and

from

First let m

e say how

happy I am

to

be here, in this island of calm

, the fam

ous Cibubur, w

hich is to Indonesian

Scouting w

hat G

ilw

ell used to be the w

orld Scouting: a nam

e w

ith a m

ystique of

its ow

n because of the innum

erable Scout experiences that have been lived here

in great Scout spirit.

Let m

e also say how

im

portant it is that w

e should be enjoying the w

el-

com

e of our brothers and sisters from

G

erakan Pram

uka, expressing by our

presence our trust in the future of a w

onderful people and of our largest national

Scout O

rganization in W

OSM

. For G

erkan Pram

uka has been, is and w

ill be

playing a unique role in Indonesia, a quadruple role of not only character build-

ing and citizenship building (as all our N

SO

s do) but also a m

ost vital role of

nation building and peace building.

Since m

y first visit for Scouting here in M

arch 1989, I have w

itnessed that

role as w

ell as positive changes and I can say that it is going in the right direc-

tion. And so has been Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region in these 15 years over

which I have been w

itness to – and associated w

ith – its qualitative and quanti-

tative grow

th. Your program

in APR is m

ore and m

ore adapted to the needs of

young people; your adults understand better and better their role as Scout

leaders. By and large you have been able to m

aintain a useful relationship w

ith

authorities w

ithout losing your autonom

y and political independence and, as

your studies have show

n, in m

ost countries your im

age is very positive. Also,

you have been able to both strengthen the unity of your region w

hile playing a

vital role at w

orld level and being fully contributive to W

orld Scouting.

Yet, your challenges are still great, though they are not the sam

e all over

the region. Som

e of you have the challenges of new

and young N

SO

’s such as

Mongolia, the M

aldives or Bhutan and they need the active support of not only

the Regional O

ffice but also of other N

SO

s in the region, a support w

hich they

mostly get. O

thers face the challenge of industrialized societies, w

ith the com

-

petition of too m

any offers to youth “hom

e” to leave the w

orld a better place

than w

e found it”. And the second is for Scouts to be truly perceived by non-

Scouts as m

ajor agents of positive social change.

We m

ust be better at m

aking non-Scouts support us because they see

potential of Scouting to m

ake a positive difference in society. W

e m

ust be

better at m

aking others see us and our Scouts, not only as natural barriers

against problem

s like drugs, corruption, intolerance, social indifference, lack or

civic sense, lack of self discipline, egoism

, but also as natural builders of a

society m

ade of autonom

ous, supportive, responsible and com

mitted citizens,

with a sense of active personal and social solidarity and a spirit of true peace, as

Scouts are.

We do not yet see ourselves sufficiently in this vital social role w

hich BP

wanted for Scouting and w

e are not com

municating w

ell enough this potential

of Scouting to the non Scout w

orld. A w

orld, w

hich all too often takes Scouting

for granted w

hen it happens to need it, but w

hich even m

ore often does not

realize how

badly it needs Scouting. Let us be m

odest for our ow

n individual

selves, not for Scouting! Let us m

ake the w

orld see, grasp, understand, and

feel the unique beauty of Scouting. See Scouting as an invaluable gift to society,

a society m

ade of the kind of people w

hich Scouting both attracts and produces:

creative, honest and dedicated people, w

ho have both a team

spirit and one of

adventure; w

ho feel responsible for others but dare take calculated risks; w

ho

respect our natural environm

ent and understand the requirem

ents of sustain-

able developm

ent; w

ho keep their w

orld and are socially conscious. In short a

world w

here som

e m

en and w

om

en are am

ongst the decision m

akers w

ho m

ake

a difference at all levels of society because they have been Scouts. This stays

our com

mon challenge: the challenge of being fully w

hat w

e should be and of

making others see us for w

hat w

e can really bring to society.

I w

ish every success to a sum

mit that w

ill bring the Asia-Pacific Region one

step closer to m

eeting that double challenge. ❖

mittees, national

Scout leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlem

en,

I am

extrem

ely happy to com

e back again to Jakarta, alm

ost after a m

onth,

and to this ideal Scout venue – Cibubur Scout Centre, w

hich has definitely

becom

e w

orthy as a learning m

odel to all of us. It has good m

anagem

ent sys-

tem

w

ith a blend of volunteers and professionals, it is reliant. I am

extrem

ely

happy to see m

any of our old friends, and new

colleagues to rejuvenate our

Scout spirit, our friendship for the benefit of the young people of our region to

whom

w

e are here to serve.

The Sum

mit, w

hich m

eets once in three years, and one year ahead of each

Regional Conference, has a m

ulti-fold purpose. It is prim

arily to renew

solidarity

of the region w

ith the presence of key persons from

national Scout organiza-

tions. It is also to set definite focus for the activities of the region as to w

here

we w

ant to go, and how

w

e m

ove forw

ard by providing policy guidance and

direction, in the light of the m

ission for Scouting. For this Sum

mit, w

e have

stressed on review

ing our regional plan, Vision 2013, in term

s of achievem

ents

during its first three years and expand our foresight for the next few

years. To

set objectives for the next triennium

as w

ell as to share our best and prom

ising

practices. D

iscussions w

ill deal largely w

ith strategic planning and realigning the

regional priorities that w

e have set in the light of the new

W

orld Strategies, as

things have changed since w

e approved our regional priorities and objectives.

In particular, w

e w

ill devise our direction for 2004-2007.

It is only every three years that w

e, as the key regional volunteers, as

Chief Com

missioners, as International Com

missioners, as Chief Scout Execu-

tives and as professionals of the region m

eet together. Therefore, it is an oppor-

tunity to get to know

each other better, to discuss am

ong ourselves, issues that

dem

and unified support to the region as a w

hole. W

e need to look at solidarity

am

ong our associations and in m

eeting critical needs w

hich directly call for

regional initiatives for partnership and sharing. W

e also have em

erging full

fledged national Scout associations w

ithin the region w

hich need our support to

develop their Scouting in countries like Tim

or Leste, Solom

on Islands and in the

rebirth of Scouting in Afghanistan. In addition, w

e have our ow

n responsibilities

at our national level. If w

e shed aw

ay our responsibility and the duty to w

hich

we are all com

mitted, our young Scout m

em

bers of the m

ovem

ent w

ill not

forgive us. W

e are com

mitted for the developm

ent of Scouting and that is w

hy

we are here, as Scouts, as key national Scout leaders, and therefore w

e all need

to pay attention for the developm

ent of Scouting for our ow

n countries and in

the region. W

hile w

e can claim

of m

any successess w

e have m

any potholes that

we need to m

end now

, or in the very near future. W

e cannot hide aw

ay from

the reality and the truth. So w

hile w

e rejoice for the success that w

e have, let

us be very serious as w

ell, first, at the national level then at the regional level

for good Scouting. If w

e can im

prove the national situation, the region at large

will m

ove upw

ard.

We also need to change our im

age as providers of fun, cam

ping and enter-

tainm

ent, w

ithout an objective. W

e have huge task to change the attitudes of

the public, as an educational m

ovem

ent w

ith a purpose. The com

petition from

outside is becom

ing greater day by day w

hile w

e are unable to bring about the

required changes even w

ithin. Today, the only w

ay to rem

ain com

petitive is to

learn faster than the custom

ers. To be fit for the 21st century our associations

need to change. In this direction, those associations that have adopted a stra-

tegic plan need to follow

up seriously and review

it regularly. To respond to the

challenges of today, our associations m

ust be able to adopt to the changing

circum

stances and environm

ent. W

e need to re-exam

ine our organizational

structures, and dow

n size or deconstruct by creating new

structures, based on

netw

orking and be able to respond quickly to the change needs and to the

em

erging dem

ands. Instead of having trained leaders w

ho m

ake rational

10

➲ K

eyn

ote S

peech

decisions, plan, organize and exercise control, as in the 20th century, today w

e

need leaders w

ho m

anage relationships. Today’s experience show

s that past

workable solutions are creating problem

s.

Scouting plays an im

portant role in society, thus w

e need to integrate our

activities w

ith the com

munities w

here our young people grow

and are directly

influenced by the environm

ent by w

hich they live. Because of gigantic resources

necessary to do large-scale projects, w

e have to extend our solidarity not only

am

ongst Scout associations but w

ork m

ore vigorously w

ith other international

organizations at national level and at regional level. O

ver m

any years, other

Scout regions have substantially organized im

pact-giving projects for com

mu-

nities using grants from

various organizations. W

e in the Asia-Pacific w

ere once

best know

n for its creativity in com

munity developm

ent and w

orking w

ith com

-

munities and w

e still continue to do so. But w

e need m

ore coordination at re-

gional level and inform

ation of these activities at national level. Even for Scout

activities at national level, let us open our doors to other non Scouts and the

public to get to know

us and to learn about us. This Sum

mit is also an opportu-

nity to generate ideas and to m

axim

ize the visibility of Scouting and enlarge the

scope of activities for Scouts as w

ell as non-Scouts and involving com

munities

at large during m

ajor Scout events like the next Regional Scout Conference in

2004, APR Jam

boree in 2005, and w

hile w

e celebrate 50 years of AP region in

2006 and in the centenary of Scouting in 2007.

In conclusion, as key national Scout leaders gathered here to direct our

future of Scouting in the region, let us be m

ore serious of the changing needs

and to be able to adapt to those changes. Let us com

mit ourselves m

ore seri-

ously to develop Scouting to the rightful place it deserves rather than being

marginalized gradually. ❖

We are indeed very happy and delighted, not only the Indonesian G

ent of Indonesia for being as-

signed and entrusted to organize this 4th Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Leaders

Sum

Personally, I feel honoured and privileged to be requested as a guest of

honour to open this im

portant gathering. W

hy? For a very sim

ple reason really,

and that is the opportunity to m

eet all of you, the Scout leaders of our region

and the w

orld here in Cibubur Scout Cam

p, because if I have to travel and visit

each one of you in each of your countries, it m

ight take m

any years.

This m

eeting is very im

portant because you are going to discuss and elabo-

rate the APR Vision 2013 and its im

plem

entation, but also to tune-in that vision

ards 2007, the year w

hen w

e are going to cel-

ebrate the 100 years existence of W

orld Scouting. This m

eans, I assum

e, that

this Sum

mit is going to evaluate w

hat have been done in the past, how

success-

ful w

ere w

e in form

ulating relevant youth program

mes and how

effective w

ere

we, especially the adult m

em

bers of the Scout m

ovem

ent, in helping the young

generation to becom

e responsible adults and to play constructive role in society.

Of course, the vision of the future and the planning of activities, specifi-

cally for the next ten years, 2003-2013 is now

adays not so easy anym

ore, not

only for the very sim

ple fact that rapid changes occur in m

any spheres of life in

each of our countries and in the w

hole w

orld, but also due to the ‘borderless

world’ w

hich disturbs the continuity of events. As all of us know

, in our life, both

change and continuity in the right balance are needed, but if the occurrences of

change becom

e too rapid and m

oreover unpredictable, then planning of activi-

ties is being disturbed and w

e, as planners, becom

e perplexed.

Nevertheless, I am

convinced that the Scout Leaders of this region and the

whole w

orld w

ill be capable to ride on the w

ave of change and to plan relevant

activities w

hich w

ill help the young generation to becom

e effective future lead-

ers, both for the com

munity in general and for the Scouts in particular.

I earnestly hope that you all, as Scout leaders, w

ill m

ake sincere efforts in

helping the young, because w

e are now

facing so m

any societal problem

as narcotics and H

We last m

et tow

ards the end of 2001

follow

ing the last Regional Scout Confer-

ence. The year 2002 has a good m

om

en-

tum

. It w

as also a transition from

the re-

tirem

ent of m

y predecessor Kim

Kyu Young

and m

y assum

ption of the post in July

2002.A

chievem

ents in 2002 had been di-

verse covering m

ost areas of our regional

priorities in program

me developm

ent and

training, strategy, youth program

me activities that include Jam

borees, Ven-

tures and M

oot, resources developm

ent, publications both in print and elec-

tronic, involvem

ent of the Regional Scout Com

mittee and Sub-Com

mittees in

our various m

eetings and events, and our participation as a region in w

orld

events such as the W

orld Scout Conference, W

orld Youth Forum

and W

orld Scout

Jam

boree.

Since the beginning of 2003 up to now

, it has been a period of intense

work in the region at all levels. Initially m

any of the regional activities as w

ell as

national activities w

ere postponed due to SARS, w

hich unfortunately had its

very devastating effects on three of our m

em

ber countries nam

ely Singapore,

Hong Kong and Republic of China. At the sam

e tim

e this w

as a period of im

-

mense satisfaction on the w

ork w

e accom

plished in Afghanistan and in Tim

or

Leste. In addition w

e have had a series of national and regional events, at least

once a m

onth beginning from

June this year until D

ecem

ber.

Visio

e have m

ade every effort to brief the N

SO

’s on the ele-

ments of the Regional Plan and it has becom

e part and parcel of every national

Strategic Plan exercise w

e had conducted. Planning the strategies and objec-

tives of the second phase of Vision 2013 is the core of this APR Leaders Sum

mit.

We are aim

ing to define the priority statem

ents for each priority area during the

sum

mit since w

e found this as a m

issing link. Before the Sum

mit, w

e m

ade a

mid-term

evaluation of the 7 priorities (w

ith objectives and action steps) and

this w

ill be presented to this sum

mit. W

hile w

e have a budget for the plan, there

is not specificity on how

to “finance the plan”. I see this vital issue to becom

e an

integral function in the revised Term

s of Reference of the Finance Sub-Com

mit-

tee.

Actively in

vo

lu

nteers. Apart from

the com

mitm

ent of the ex-

isting Regional Com

mittee and sub-com

mittees, our invitation for a “pool of

trainers” from

m

em

ber countries in the region attracted a good response from

NSO

s, having over 120 trainers from

9 countries up to now

and w

e are sure that

the num

ber w

ill grow

. W

e intend to build on this enorm

ous hum

an resource

within the region as w

e go along to m

eet som

e of our critical needs. In term

s of

com

mitm

ent of the volunteer, a criteria has been devised by the Regional Com

-

mittee at its last m

eeting on the selection and com

mitm

ent of volunteers w

ho

will be serving in regional sub-com

mittees in the future. H

opefully this w

ill en-

sure m

ore steady flow

of contribution for the grow

th of regional scouting.

ram

me. The Program

me D

evelopm

ent W

ork-

shop organized in M

alaysia w

ith the full involvem

ent of the W

orld Scout Bureau

was a significant leap for strengthening our youth program

mes. W

e have iden-

tified areas w

here substantial w

ork needs to be undertaken in the future. Across

the region, ‘Rovering’ is generally w

eak and I believe a robust Rovering section

in each N

SO

w

ould guarantee a breeding place for young adult leaders, largely

missing in m

any of our current Scouting scenes. For this reason, w

e are organ-

izing, for the first tim

e, a sem

inar for the prom

otion of Rover Scouting in D

e-

cem

ber in the Philippines to identify strategies to prom

ote and strengthen

Rovering. Another crucial area is to m

ake the scout program

me m

ore challeng-

ing to the young people of today and I believe one w

ay of doing so is to link our

scout program

me to ICT, w

hich has now

becom

e an elem

ent of every day w

ay of

life. W

e w

ill be conducting a regional w

orkshop to identify the role of ICT in

scout program

me and it w

ill be hosted by Japan in O

hich is m

ainly

due to the 42%

ine coun-

and Kiribati. H

th

has been a top priority in each of those N

’s and in all cases alm

ing to

double the m

of im

Partn

ne initial step w

as the consultation m

Over the years the journey has m

ment of young people.

With a view

to involve m

The program

ension of

Scouting. In this backdrop, Bangladesh Scouts involves young people m

present good evening.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Scouting,

I take this opportunity to confess that

som

e of the deliberations in this sum

mit m

eeting have been w

onderful and

easily understood. But surely I believe, w

e have not been overflow

ed w

ith infor-

mation. To explain m

yself let m

e share this story w

ith you all.

Tw

o friends bought tw

o cars for their personal daily use. Few

m

onths later,

they m

eet again. “I heard you have been having car trouble tim

e and again”,

said one friend to the other. “Yes”, replied the other car ow

ner. “D

o you rem

em

-

ber w

hen I bought the car the inform

ation flow

of this w

as very interesting and

follow

ed that.” “I bought a new

carburetor that saves 30 percent on petrol. I

changed new

transm

ission that saves 50 percent on petrol and also changed

new

set of spare plugs that saved 40 percent on petrol.” “So w

hat is the trouble.

You saved 120 percent on petrol”. Said the first friend. Scratching his head, the

other friend replied don’t you understand, “everytim

e after I drove about 80

kilom

etres, the petrol tank starts to overflow

.”

I do believe w

e shall not have that kind of inform

ation overflow

.

Provided that all of you here w

ill m

ake this w

orld a better place for the

future.

We m

ust not forget that Educational priorities for out tim

e depends on the

basic understanding and shared experiences that leaders of this region have

gone through. In today’s w

orld, the continued survival of m

en and w

om

en as

species grow

s less certain as each successive day w

e w

itness the increasing

inability of m

en and w

om

en everyw

here to feed them

selves and produces a

steady deterioration in living standards. The truth of this statem

ent can be

seen now

here better than the third w

orld under-developed countries.

Fact rem

ains that people need to eat food and drink w

ater. Ideals and

dream

s can only com

e later. W

hat w

e see if w

e look around, w

e see m

inim

um

basic needs are barely m

et, lack of m

eaningful adequate social participation by

the m

arginalized people and still living in an absolute poverty. These m

arginalized

people can barely m

eet their m

inim

um

basic needs and they lack them

m

eans

of adequate social participation. They have to rem

ain contained w

ith their ow

n

social and cultural practices. These continued experiences forces the m

arginalized

people to a strong possibility to drift, and thus m

ay prom

ote self-deprecation

and ultim

ate adoption of negative im

ages of self and society.

Education for survival m

eans that to face facts beyond the shelter of the

classroom

w

alls and having the flexibility to adapt quickly the needs of our tim

e.

Most of us seek the solution of rapid political changes. Even if such m

agic w

ere

possible, basic needs that w

e all seem

to ignore due to w

hat that rem

ains to be

the fact sam

e as today.

Those of us live in the city or m

ajor cities, w

hat does it m

eans to be rich?

Where w

ater runs endlessly from

the taps, w

here the sick die in hospitals be-

yond the com

prehension of the m

arginalized m

ajority. The big cities provide

and serve food from

the shelves of the super-m

arket outlets. It is w

here the soil

is som

ething to w

alk on and nothing m

ore.

Hence, w

e in the Scouting w

orld need to prom

ote through the strategy an

educational m

ethod that looks outw

ard at the reality of the m

arginalized society

and our dying land. W

e need o com

mit ourselves to take care of our children

and young adults. For this is m

ore theirs than ours. And they have a greater

stake in its future than w

e do.

Before I conclude, m

ay I take this opportunity to congratulate on behalf of

the W

orld Scout Com

mittee to each and every m

em

ber of W

OSM

present here

individually as w

ell as being w

orthy representatives of the m

em

ber organization

of this region for there active deliberations. O

ur special gratitude to G

erakan

Pram

uka in perform

ing their duty tow

ards their country and enriching the

Asia-Pacific Region by hosting this Sum

mit ‘Salam

Pram

uka’.

May I also take opportunity to quote a very m

eaningful statem

ent pro-

vided by no less than M

other Theresa that puts us back to the track.

“W

e ourselves feel that w

hat w

e are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But

the ocean w

ould be a drop and m

any ripples less because of that m

issing drop.”

Dear brothers and sisters, it is our solem

n responsibility to pass our expe-

riences to the future generation. In all fairness, the journey that w

e have all

taken has com

e a long w

ay and can only be beneficiary if w

e are successful in

understanding young people and conveying the m

essage of Scouting to m

ore

young people, thus serving the m

ovem

ent.

May alm

ighty provide us w

ith the strength and courage to understand the

minds of the future generation. Please rem

em

ber m

y brothers and sisters they

are our children and they need your support.

Thanking you all for your kind patience. ❖
