The World Friendship Fund Patch for 2005 'A unique annual service project to benefit Scouts around the world' THE 2005 WORLD FRIENDSHIP FUND PATCH HOW IT WORKS Each year, the MDSC International Committee selects a country (or countries) whose emerging Scouting programs would benefit from limited financial aid. Then we initiate a world-wide drive to encourage Scouts and Scouters to contribute to help their less fortunate brothers and sisters in Scouting. In return for your donation we send you an official program patch for every $6 donated. OUR HISTORY OF SERVICE 1995 Donations from our first gold bordered patch helped Scouts in refugee camps in Zaire with the purchase and delivery of tenting, medical supplies, equipment, and clothing. We also provided tenting to Scouts in Panama and Paraguay. 1996-1997 Patch donations financed the purchase and delivery of camping, scouting, and first aid equipment to the Scouters in the Ukraine and Siberia.
We also provided funds directly to the Siberian Scout Association for general scouting purposes through USFIS. 1998 Scouts in Grenada and Dominica in the Caribbean and Scouts in Nicaragua in Central America were the recipients of camping equipment, medical supplies, and Scouting supplies thanks to your donations. We also sent funds directly to the respective Scout Associations thru USFIS for their general use. 1999-2000 Provided tentage for the 2000 all African Jamboree, and provided funds for equipment and supplies directly to the Scouts of Mozambique and sent funds thru USFIS to the Scouts of Mozambique. We also underwrote the cost of shipping a large volume of Scouting books from Portuguese Scouts of Brazil to the Portuguese speaking Scouts of Mozambique. 2001-2002 Raised funds for Scouts and Scouting organizations in Lithuania, Bosnia-Herzegovinia and Macedonia.
These funds were used for Scouting, camping, first aid, training and other Scouting program materials within these Scouting organizations. 2003-2004 Funded Scouts and Scouting organizations in Papua, New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Figi to directly acquire and deliver Scouting, camping, first aid, training and other Scouting program materials to these Scouting organizations. Surplus was presented to the BSA national World Friendship Fund where it will be directed to other country's whose Scouting programs are in need. 'WHAT IS THE WORLD FRIENDSHIP FUND?' The World Friendship Fund was developed by the Boy Scouts of America during the closing days of World War II. At the time, there was a great need to rebuild Scouting in nations that had been wracked by war and were just emerging from the shadows of totalitarianism.
In the years that have elapsed, virtually every nation in the free world that has Scouting has been aided by the fund. Both those nations that have had Scouting before and those newly emerging nations that desire the Scouting program for their youth have been helped. Through the World Friendship Fund, voluntary contributions of Scouts and leaders are transformed into cooperative projects that help Scouting associations in other countries to strengthen and extend their Scouting programs. Since the beginning of the World Friendship Fund, more than $1 million has been voluntarily donated by American Scouts and leaders to these self-help activities. 'WHO ARE WE HELPING THIS YEAR?'
For our tenth anniversary we are returing to where we started, supporting three Central American Scouting organizations in Guatemala, Belize, and Nicaragua. Funds will be used to directly acquire and deliver Scouting, camping, first aid, training and other Scouting program materials to these Scouting organizations.
Any surplus will be presented to the BSA national World Friendship Fund where it will be directed to other country's whose Scouting programs are in need. MAKING DONATIONS / REQUESTING PATCHES Process Summary. Submit a Via (snail) mail. One Patch is shipped for each $6.00 (US) WFF donation.
