Celebrate International World Peace Day
September 19
Ideas from our Online Scouting Community
Ginny Gillam suggests: A way to observe the World Peace Day -Have scouts gather together at a certain place and time for example, school or their meeting place and do a candle light type service and sing "Let There Be Peace on Earth" in a circle holding hands.
Al Cormier suggested these ideas:
1. For World Peace Day, a unit can have a contest. Have the Scouts tell what they would do to bring peace to the world. Award certificates or other prizes (I try to give every participant something).
2. Email your Scouts' ideas for world peace to the Leader of your state, province, country, etc.
3. Email your Scouts' ideas for world peace to world organizations like the International Peace Research Association.
4. Make a bulleting board display on your Charter Organization's bulletin board of Scout ideas and any responses you receive from people or organizations to which you have submitted the Scout ideas.
