Welcome to Brazil

Message from the President of União dos Escoteiros
do Brasil

União dos Escoteiros do Brasil has worked hard on the preparation
of the 39th World Scout Conference and the 11th World Scout Youth
Forum and we are glad you will come to spend this week with us.

Hosting the main Scout leadership worldwide in our country is a reason
to be proud and very happy, but it is also a great responsibility.

We will be very honoured to have your presence. We hope that you will
enjoy the Conference as much as you possibly can and it will also be an
opportunity to be part of the important decisions that the World
Scout Movement will make-and also, of course, enjoy the attractions
that our country has to offer.

We will do our best to make sure that the 39th World Scout Conference
and the 11th World Scout Youth Forum reach their goals and can
contribute to the creation of a better world.

Welcome!
Join forces and share this dream with us!

My warmest hugs,

Rubem Tadeu Cordeiro Perlingeiro

Message from the Chairman of the Organizing
Committee

At the 37th World Scout Conference in 2005 in Hammamet, Tunísia,
Brazil was elected to host the 39th World Scout Conference and the
11th World Scout Youth Forum – after 100 years, for the first
time, it will happen in South America. This was only possible
because of our role on the international scene, putting together
all the experience gained over many years (and others to come), to
achieve our main goal; which is also the main goal of our World
Organization, that is, the growth of the Scout Movement in Brazil,
Latin America and the World.

This has required true hard team work, bringing together the efforts
of the Cities of Curitiba and Blumenau, the states of Paraná and
Santa Catarina and the government of the Republic of Brazil, as well
as our Parliamentary Scout Union, to support and act as fuel to
hundreds of volunteers who will make this World Conference a happy
and unforgettable reality.

It is a privilege to chair a group of women and men so prepared,
passionate to the Scout cause, truly responsible and competent.
They are volunteers with a professional spirit and professionals
with a volunteer spirit. My sincere tribute and recognition to
each and every one of them.

Thank you all and Be Prepared!
