Scouts will greet sunrise on August 1st to the sound of the kudu horn in a linked series of Centenary Celebrations around the world, The day will continue as new friends are made, different cultures are shared and valued, and a world at peace starts to seem achievable.
August 1st, 2007 will indeed be special. That day everyone will awake early for a very special birthday. One hundred years ago that day on 1st August 1907, Robert Baden-Powell sounded the kudu horn to start an experimental camp for 22 boys on Brownsea Island.
Brownsea will be a leading focal point of celebrations in 2007, particularly on 1st August 2007 with Scouting’s Sunrise. Centenary Activities during 2007 on Brownsea Island will include:
- Scouting’s Sunrise on Brownsea – Scouts from nearly every country in the world will travel to Brownsea Island to renew their Scout Promise at dawn on 1st August 2007
- Replica Camp on Brownsea – during the 21st World Scout Jamboree, there will be a live replica of the original Brownsea Island camp
- Brownsea Centenary Events – in 2007 there will be special events on Brownsea Island to celebrate the Centenary of Scouting
In Scouting’s Sunrise around the world, Scouts have been renewing their Scout Promise. As dawn breaks, giant video screens will show the live satellite link with Brownsea Island, where two Scouts from nearly every country will be camping together in a practical demonstration of “One World, One Promise”.
The day will continue at the Jamboree with an international street party, and around the world with celebrations by 28 million Scouts to echo the kudu horn 100 years ago.
More details will follow as they become available!
