2MUNDUSNOVUS NO. 33
It was in the year 1987 that I began my work as an adult volunteer serving the
Scout Movement. Then began a long journey as a scout leader, a road full of
challenges, a lot of learning, acquiring a very strong commitment to contribute
to the education of young people and, why not, my satisfaction. Incorporated
into my life was a new role that would require me to donate my time, my talent
and resources (money) for the benefit of others.
Today concerning balance, after almost 28 years of having become an adult in
Scouting, I reflect strongly about the importance of “balance”. Balance in the
various roles we have in life, balance in the time devoted to each, balanced
results that are desired during the passage of time.
When I started my work as a scout leader, I was at the same time a college
student, son, brother and friend. Such were the key roles played then. I knew I
could not stand out as scout leader ignoring the good performance as a student,
or giving up family life, or surround myself with negative friendships that could
have caused me to misuse my time and money. Trying to maintain balance was
not just a matter of knowing how to manage the time that was given to each of
these roles to achieve the results I craved, but above all was related to an issue
of consistency with the values expressed in the Scout Promise and Law. I could
not be a “Streetlight and darkness in my house”, as stated in a popular Mexican
saying. Often I devoted less time to my parents and brothers and gave it to
Scouting or study, which was not right. I had to learn over time that I should
give a place to everything and I cannot deliver on a role at the expense of or
failure in another.
Over the years, as a result of conscious decision-making, I started playing
other roles as husband, father and professional scout. I know the importance of
maintaining the balance between each of them, not allowing, for example, work
to overshadow my effort to be a good husband and a good father. I confess that
it was not always easy. Often work had absorbed large amounts of time and
attention. However, I have found the key to not separate the roles of each. I’m
not one person when I am a father and another when I am a scout professional.
My values are exactly the same in either role. My colleagues at work know my
wife and my children, and my family knows what my job is and my office mates.
This challenge comes to everybody daily and not achieving balance can lead
to much frustration. The key is to maintain integrity. Be yourself in any role in
life and seek to grant each the necessary time. Important things should take
precedence over the urgent things.

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
Social justice emerged at the middle of the X1X century
as a consequence of the necessity to achieve an equitable
distribution of social goods, because in a society in which
social justice is valued, the human rights of individuals
that inhabit it will be respected and the unprotected
social classes will have opportunities of growing.
The UN General Assembly proclaimed February 20 as
the World Day of Social Justice in 2007. They invited the
member states to dedicate to promote this special day
nationally, with specific activities that meet the objectives
and goals of the World Summit for Social Development
at twenty-fourth special session of the General Assembly.
The celebration of the World Day of Social Justice should
support the efforts of the international community aimed
to eradicate poverty and promote full employment and
decent jobs, gender equality and access to well-being
and social justice for all.
According to the UN, the foundations of the social justice
advocate when:
- Gender equality is promoted.
- The rights of indigenous peoples are promoted.
- The rights of migrants and refugees are promoted
worldwide.
- Barriers of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion,
culture or disability that people face are eliminated.
For the United Nations, the pursuit of social justice for all is at
the core of our global mission to promote development and
human dignity. The adoption by the International Labour
Organization of the Declaration of the International Labour
Organization on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization is
just one recent example of the commitment of the United
Nations system of social justice.
The declaration focuses on ensuring equitable outcomes for
all through employment, social protection, social dialogue
and fundamental principles and rights at work.
The general concept of social justice
incorporates the idea that inequalities
between people do not exis,
opportunities are for everyone, from
those who live in poverty to those
found in wealth. As long as there is
no social injustice in the world there
will be inequality of opportunity, no
freedom of speech, neither access to
the basic services that a human being
needs.

GREEN PLANET
In almost all major cities of our countries the situation of street animals is worrying, but what do we call stray animals? Well stray animals are those animals that live part of the day outside their compounds, whether they were freed by owners, neglected or because the animal is lost or was born on the street and they collect in packs to form colonies.
It is not true that these pets need to have a litter to complete their life cycle, since there is not a conscious connection with the reproduction as a necessary part of their emotional well-being.
When we decided to reproduce a dog or a cat we think that not more than 1 or 2 pups will be born. They often birth more than 6 or 7 (sometimes 12 or more) and these animals alike deserve a home where they have safety, care, affection and, most importantly, a permanent place to stay. Of 10 puppies, only two remain after a year of life in their original home. This results in the abandonment of the other 8 puppies that end their lives on the streets or in shelters. It is important to note that when you try to breed your dog or cat the off-spring will not be a copy but shall have its own mental and physical characteristics.
Most people crossing their dogs or cats have good intentions for puppies and sincere expectations to accommodate
them but unfortunately, it is very difficult to place ALL puppies, as this rarely happens. The result of a cross between a dog and her offspring results in the birth of 67,000 dogs in six years. The result of a cross between a cat and her offspring results in the birth of 420,000 in seven years!
The problem of canine and feline overpopulation is a difficult dimension to understand. Therefore there are different campaigns in our countries for sterilization. This is not a moral issue. It is a responsibility: sterilizing your animal is like contributing a grain of sand and you help to prevent the birth of thousands of animals in the future that will be on the streets of our cities, experiencing a very bad life where most will not exceed three years of life.
There are misconceptions about sexuality and reproduction of these animals in our society. This lack of information leads to over population.Be responsible for your pets, sterilize.

WORKS OF NORBERTO ARGÜELLO
Sea Scouting has led to two books. They consist of a
collection of anecdotes and a complete record of letters,
newspaper articles and editions of the Association of Sea
Scouts Admiral Brown.
“In the winter of 1982, being head of the group,
Roberto Campo, handed me a folder with photocopies of
documentation of sea scouts kept at the HQ. They were
letters and handwritten notes by Alberto Leoni, writer of
Gaceta Marinera. I took all the material and I kept it for
years in my house” he began explaining to “The New”, the
scout leader on the beginnings of this editorial project.
“In 2009, as he reread old papers, these photocopies
made by primitive photocopying process, vanished with a
simple touch. I could not find the originals and I decided
to transcribe them before they became unreadable” he
added.
Thus was born the idea. He began a slow search for
information to develop a publication on the history of the
Sea Scouts.
In 2011 he deepened investigations and came to consult
organizations such as the Foreign Ministry, the Yellow
House, the Historical Archives of the Navy and the Naval
Museum of Puerto Belgrano. He also began interviewing
notable former scouts and families of deceased leaders.
Having so much material he realized that he could publish
a bulky specimen consisting of several books on specific
themes he called “The Book of the Centennial”.
He set to work and finding publishers interested, he decided
to work on an “Author’s Edition”.
He wrote, edited, illustrated, printed, assembled, pressed,
sewed, binding- using some household tools that must
have been put together with his own hands, and in August
2013 completed the first publication.
It is a hard copy of 1,110 pages titled “Teru Tero in the
First 100 years of Sea Scouting “, which together with the
aforementioned documents, brings together all existing
copies of the “Bulletin Teru Tero” which were digitized.
So that the experiences and anecdotes were not lost in the
memory of a few, he decided to commit them to paper and
published a small volume, also as edition of the author,
which he called “Anecdotes and Experiences of my Scout
Life” which recently presented.
The Centennial book, meanwhile, will be available on July
5, 2015, the date of celebration of the century of the
Association of Sea Scouts at Puerto Belgrano and Punta
Alta, and Sea Scouting in Latin America, since this group is
the pioneer in this field.
Furthermore, given the interest generated by some fellow
scouts for these initiatives he is working on a second
edition of anecdotes and the publication of a “Handbook
for Sea Scouts”.
“An old scout master taught me that from the word
impossible it’s necessary to remove the prefix ‘im’
which leaves us the term possible. That is the engine of
my projects. With passion and patience, you can,” said
Argüello.
The members of the Scout Association of Sea Scouts
Admiral Brown are currently organizing their next camp
activities, with the support of children and young people
who are in the group, the leaders and parents.

BULLYINGJesús Arenas – Executive for Support Operations in the Caribbean and for Special Projects..
When we think of children, synonyms
immediately come to mind as
innocence, peace and joy, but today
I’m sure at some point we’ve all heard
the term “bullying”. Bullying is derived
from the word bully and the verb
bullying started to be use since 1710.
This issue, although current or trendy
enough, has been under study since
1973, Dan Olweus, who may be
considered the father of specialized
studies of the same. He studied in
Sweden the behavior of children,
taking into account factors such as the
social environment of students, school
size, number of teachers and students
per classroom.
Dan Olweus first determined that
a student is attacked or becomes a
victim when exposed, repeatedly and
over time, to negative actions carried
out by another student or several of
them.
Certain statements to the individual
can cause low self-esteem and it
is reflected in different ways from
isolation to fits of rage, which would
compromise their performance in
other educational settings like college.
To be worse, the student can develop
phobia of classrooms, which, if he
gets to finish school, will hardly want
to continue their educational life. So,
without any preparation, he will not
be eligible to get a good job, joining
the ranks of the unemployed and
marginalized. In short, emotional
bullying ends the child’s perception
that the school or group where he is
trying to enter is a safe and secure
place to coexist.
Besides the already known
consequences, unfortunately there
have already been registered cases
with fatal outcomes, such as the
suicide of the child population due to
this phenomenon.
Similarly, according to studies by
the University of Yale, children and
adolescent victims of bullying are
considered 2-9 times more suicidal
than those who are not victims.
Among the myths of bullying are:
• Bullying is most visible in
urban areas.
• Bullying is seen only in poor or
dangerous areas.
• The number of students per
class and school size is a factor.
• Students with low academic
performance are bullies.
• Those with bad behavior
towards their parents are bullies.
• It is a matter of boys and not
of girls.
• Bullies are insecure people
inside.
• It is a way of joking among
boys.
• The attackers are popular.
Besides the already known consequences,
unfortunately there have already been
registered cases with fatal outcomes, such
as the suicide of the child population due to
this phenomenon.

• Victims always have qualities
(external factors) as obesity, wearing
glasses, height, hair color, ethnicity,
mannerisms, and unusual names.
• The victim is a weak and
timid child, who has no friends. False.
The victim can be any child who will
become the focus of the aggression
of a colleague. For example: the
pretty girl who gets good grades and
therefore causes envy.
• In the dynamics of “bullying”
only the aggressor and the victim
are involved. False. In the dynamic
viewers also participate. The latter are
powerful because they could join the
aggressor, stay indifferent or defend
the victim.
• The most common type
of “bullying” is physical violence.
False. Only 10% of cases of bullying
is physical, as this is the easiest to
detect. The other 90% are verbal
bullying, non-verbal, emotional and
cyber bullying.
• As adults, if we do not
intervene, we help the victim have
more character and learn to defend
themselves. False. The child who is a
victim of bullying has generally tried to
defend himself and it has not worked.
In the long run, if no one defends, it
can cause serious emotional problems
like depression or an anxiety disorder.
• The type of “bullying” more
harmful is related to physical violence.
False. The most damaging type of
bullying is the emotional type, where
they attack the person’s identity: race,
sexual orientation, weight, status,
religion, etc. This type of bullying
causes higher levels of anxiety.
• It is important to seek help
only for the victim of “bullying”.
False. Assistance should be given to
the victim, but also the aggressor
child or “Bully”, as he/she also has a
problem and can be a victim in other
environments.
• These behaviors are common
among children and they must learn
to solve their problems alone. False.
Children must learn to negotiate
and defend themselves adequately.
But being in a situation of repetitive
abuse, which he did not manage to
defend, adults must intervene to limit
the child or child abuser.
• If my child (and I dare add,
student, or other family member) does
not go through this problem there is
not much I can do. False. Teaching
the importance of mutual respect
and empathy will help all understand
that this type of behavior will not be
tolerated.
Not taking preventive actions or
plans on how to deal with these
issue makes us accomplices and
sponsors of these unacceptable
behaviors. Bullying affects how we
see our future generations. It is
the duty of everyone to put plans
in place to mitigate the frequency of
cases, raise awareness, give feeling
of confidence to our protected or
dependents (who do not necessarily
have to be our children or family)
and above all, not just listen to
complaints when they arise, but
suggest the best remedy for all
involved. We cannot blind ourselves
to the facts and must accept that
bullying is present in every society
and every social group.

SAYING GOOD BYE TO A MESSENGER OF PEACE
King Abdullah became the sixth king of the oil nation in Au-
gust 2005, but was considered the leader of the nation sin-
ce 1996, when his half brother King Fahd suffered a stroke.
In the context of conservative circles of the kingdom, King Abdullah was
seen as a ‘reformer’ and often clashed with the more hardline clerics.
Since he became king, he invested heavily the wealth of the na-
tion in large-scale education and infrastructure projects.
The World Organization of the Scout Movement today mourns the passing of the King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, Custodian of the two Holy Mosques.The late King Abdullah was most instrumental in the develop-ment of the World Scouting’s flagship initiative, Messengers of Peace.Since its launch in 2011, Messengers of Peace has inspired millions of young men and women – members of the Scout Movement worldwi-de – to do great things in their local communities, to create a better world.
Through Messengers of Peace, Scouts have helped their commu-
nities recover from disasters in El Salvador, Haiti, the Philippi-
nes, and the USA. They have taken care of street kids and their
families in Bangladesh, Honduras, Kenya and the Philippines.
They have intervened in divided communities in Burun-
di, Indonesia, Kashmir and Rwanda. These are but a drop in
the ocean of the millions of projects that have been under-
taken by Scouts to bring positive change to their communities.
World Scouting is committed to bringing the message of pea-
ce and creating a better world for all. Our 40 million Scouts and
more to come will be mobilized to achieve this vision for peace.
King Abdullah was recognized with Scouting’s prestigious Bron-
ze Wolf Award, the highest honor from Scouting at the world level.
May the soul of the late King Abdullah rest in peace.

HEALTHTHE ANXIETY
Anxiety is basically a mechanism of defense. It is an alert
response to threatening situations. It’s a universal mecha-
nism that occurs in all people. It’s normal, adaptive, impro-
ves performance and the ability to anticipate and respond.
Anxiety, like other feelings (pleasure, excitement, eu-
phoria, ecstasy, sadness, anger, rage and calm), is fun-
damental to the lives of people. It regulates interac-
tion with others and provides an alarm system, in the
case of fear and serves to confront hazards or risks.
The role of anxiety is to mobilize the body and keep you
alert and ready to intervene against risks and threats, so
they do not occur or harm. Anxiety therefore urges us to
take appropriate measures (flee, attack, neutralize, face,
suit, etc), according to the nature of risk or danger. Dan-
ger arises through the interference with any project or im-
portant concern of ours, either by degradation of status
or accomplishments already attained. Human beings want
what they do not have and want to keep what they have.
Anxiety as an adaptive mechanism is good, functio-
nal, normal, and poses no health problem.
However, in some cases, this mechanism operates diffe-
rently, meaning that it produces health problems and, ins-
tead of helping, it disables us. What factors can influence
a normal, healthy and adaptive mechanism to ceases? Two
human emotions are very important as the causes of anxie-
ty: sexuality and aggression. In the analysis that people
make of their trouble, they can however generate many rea-
sons that bear no relation to aggressive or sexual desires.
Many patients, for example, feel puzzled at the fact that the
cause of anxiety arises precisely when they are happier and
have come up with the desired achievement. Others blame
their state of abandonment of a loved one, bad luck in busi-
ness, loneliness, adverse environmental or failure of a project.
Anxiety disorders are caused by a combination of
any of these factors during a period of time. Norma-
lly, the presence of one not only produces or cau-
ses an anxiety disorder. In general, anxiety di-
sorders can be seen as the product or interaction
between predisposing factors and external stressors.
The presence of risk factors predispose an individual to
suffer genetic disorder, anxiety-factors, styles, powers,
etc. Linked to the presence of a stressor, a disease or
vital-events can compromise the individual’s ability to
cope and lead to development of an anxiety problem.
It is natural that anxiety affects us in many ways and
this varies from person to person, so it is important that,
in addition to seeking ways to overcome your insomnia,
you need to evaluate your anxiety levels in general and
analyze whether you are having other symptoms. Anxiety
is not a disease. It’s more like a mismatch, but once de-
tected does require that we make an effort to return to
a state of equilibrium. If you see that this is not having
a positive effect on you then specialist help is needed.

STRENGTHENING YOUTH PARTICIPATION
IN SCOUTS OF ARGENTINAMartín Felipe Mezzanotte; Director of Youth, Vanina Figule; Director of Educational Methods
On 22, 23 and 24 November 2014, Scouts of Argentina
had the opportunity to experience a truly historic Natio-
nal Assembly. Among the many topics discussed in this
Assembly (progress of corporate strategic plans, re-
newal of authorities, etc.) the vast majority approved
the proposed amendment of the bylaws of the organi-
zation, expanding the democratic participation of young
members of Scouts of Argentina, giving them a voice
and vote in all agencies of government of the institution.
A process of shared development of knowledge
For many years, young people and educators of Scouts of
Argentina have raised their voices calling for young people’s
entitlement to vote at the levels of institutional decisión
making of the organization. Even though this issue was dis-
cussed by previous Assemblies, never before was such an
event preceded by a process of broad and inclusive debate.
We were able to address elements of a truly representative
analysis encompassing the diverse realities of an associa-
tion that brings together more than 60,000 people. For this
reason, a year before the decisión, to generate a process
of institutional debates that gave the possibility to either
partner to participate, to share their opinions, reflect on the
contributions of others and reach consensus on an issue so
important for an NSO such as its governance processes.
The structure of Scouts of Argentina is divided into 43 zo-
nes which are subdivided into 150 districts that make up
the 800 scouts groups that constitute the organization. For
each of the levels of associative structure, intergeneratio-
nal debates were held where youth and scout leaders met
to exchange views on processes of democratic participa-
tion, educational dimension of the processes of decision
making and intergenerational partnership in Scouting were
designed. The turnout was very broad-based as across
the country the membership responded positively to this
call. At zonal level meetings alone, over 1500 young peo-
ple and over 1,000 scout leaders, who represented their
peers, participated in days of discussions and collecti-
ve reflection. Then, these representatives were the main
proponents multiplying the experiences in similar mee-
tings organized in different districts and scout groups.
A flexible project to define associates.
For each discussion session, consultation templates,
forms for Scout groups, districts and areas of the coun-
try were designed. These were sent to the national level
to be analyzed by the national teams. As a result of this
analysis, a range of proposed changes for each gover-
ning body of the association structure was designed. For
each governing body, the associates were able to select
the format of youth participation that seemed most appro-
priate to them, taking into account different criteria such
as minimum age for participation of young people, ratio
between scout leader and scouts, mechanisms of direct
participation and representation, among others. In addi-
tion, the proposed format could also be modified through
proposed amendments, through which members could
propose improvements to the basic design of each form
of participation. This procedure to reform the Constitution
was implemented in over 150 District Assembly levels and
then at the National Assembly in November; resulting in
the collective construction of a new arena of rights and
duties for members of Scouts of Argentina, where young
people can participate through representatives, with the
right to speak and vote-in all governing bodies of the ins-
titution, from Scout Group level to the National Council.
The challenges ahead
In the last National Assembly, members of Scouts of Ar-
gentina decided to approve the proposed changes by an
overwhelming majority. Going forward, we expect the
challenge of advancing in the process of progressive im-
plementation of the agreed changes and accompany our
youth and scout leaders in this new way of conceiving
the governance of our Organization as a space of co-
llective construction and real intergenerational alliance.

STUDY OF IMPACT IN YOUTH PROGRAM IN NICARAGUA.
Amanda Flores, National Youth Programme Director, Nicaragua Scout Asociation.
Study of Impact in Youth Program in adolescents and youths belonging to the Scout Movement in Nicaragua.
Nicaragua Scouts will learn in the coming week
the impacted on the lives of their girls and boys
who have chosen to live the adventure of Scouting.
Throughout the life of the Scout Association of Nica-
ragua its perfirmance mainly in the area of values that
characterizes scouting had never been studied, that is
why this year in the context of the 100th anniversary of
the foundation of the scout movement in Nicaragua, the
ASN has set out to conduct an exploratory exercise, in
order to detect whether the values promoted in this mo-
vement are brought to everyday life for its members.
The Scout Association of Nicaragua began the year with
the implementation of a survey that started the Study
of Impact of Youth Programme called Operation Scout
Impact 360 in order to assess the relevance and effec-
tiveness of the scout educational programme in the
overall development of adolescents and young peo-
ple participating in the scout movement in Nicaragua.
This study is particularly important because the
most innovative research internationally talk about
the ethical advantages of nations, in partners-
hip capacity of its members to create trusted net-
works that drive growth and economic development.
This sense of community lets people share norms and va-
lues that generate the confidence to creating prosperity.
The field is being developed by a group of rovers vo-
lunteers that on two consecutive weekends, have
moved to places where groups meet, homes and
schools of scouts, venturers and rovers, to survey
boys and their families and their social environment.
To determine whether the values promoted by the
Scout Law are present in decision-making in everyday
life at present, is the main purpose of this research.
We hope soon to share more details of this study.
