Love and scouting, a brotherhood of unity, leadership

We decided to join Scouting for a reason, we were not forced. We were all excited we belong to a noble and friendship brotherhood. After all, we were getting together, happy with ourselves for a long time. We always see ourselves as one family, we care about each other, helping ourselves and other organisations envy us for that. We have promoted peace worldwide and locally, we promotes true scouting and its values until one day....., We missed a step and it led to division. Then, all of a sudden, right before our very eyes, before we knew it, it blew up into a horrible argument and escalated day in day out. Angry words flew between the leadership and before we could do anything to stop it, the friendship was divided, people stormed out of the venue, vowing to never talk to each other ever again!

If scouting is truly for boys, a voluntary organisation with no secret financial gains, then we are appealing to you to end this division and let us move forward as one NSO, one family, one scout. We don't care who was wrong or right but we care to move forward as brothers and sisters.

We all know people who may not be openly fighting and arguing, yet we know that there is definitely some kind of either hostility or even some kind of misunderstanding amongst themselves but let us forget the past and concentrate on the future.

There’s nothing like the bond between brothers. And ‘brothers’ doesn’t only refer to people born to the same parents. A brother is anyone you can depend on, who you will do anything for. Brotherhood as a larger concept entails uniting all of the humanity. It is about finding it in your heart to truly care about your fellow human beings and build them up while allowing them to lift you up too when you need it.

Even though there have been many times when we’ve taken you for granted, we want you to know that a brother like you is what we’ve always wanted.

Come back home, brother
Don't leave us alone in this voluntary job.
We're related by blood and in one spirit,
Brothers and Best friends forever.
Don't break that bond,
Come back home to us.

Spending our life with you has made us realise that brothers are the only people in the world who will help you succeed in life. Come back home and let us do it together, with love and smile, you will be welcomed.
