100 años...
100 años pasaron, y en doce días la celebración de un evento tan importante -según me cuentan-, salió perfecta, espero que en algún momento alguien del 277 pueda ir a un jambo, ya que como todo evento es algo espectacular.

Centenario Scout
Scouting Centenary
Sunrise Ceremony
The highlight of the celebrations on Brownsea was a sunrise ceremony and renewal of pledge. Watch our film to catch up with the day's events.
The sunrise ceremony took place this morning, at 8am. Chief scout, Peter Duncan roused the scouts at Brownsea and invited them all to renew their scouting promise.
We camped with the scouts and shared their celebrations, from their arrival on Brownsea to the sunrise ceremony. Use the link below to see the ceremony itself. This is the third of our Brownsea scouting films - follow the links to the right of this page to see the others.

One hundred years ago, Robert Baden-Powell led a party of around 20 boys on an eight day camping trip to Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour.
The camp was an experiment, with spectacular success - and the scouting movement was born.
Robert Baden-Powell
A century after that ground-breaking first camp, some 28 million scouts around the world have celebrated their centenary by gathering on the island for a sunrise ceremony and breakfast.
Scouting is now the biggest youth movement in the world and over 200 countries and territories are taking part. Many have held their own sunrise event. Around 300 sunrise events took place in Britain alone.
The eyes of the scouting world are on the celebrations at the birthplace of scouting - the camp on Brownsea Island.
Two Scouts from every National Scout Organisation renewed their Promise on the island at 8am - and our cameras were there to share the experience.

English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Español:
Si tu Yahoo! ID está basada en Singapor, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólamente verás contenido llamado seguro basándose en nuestros términos de servicio locales y no podrás deshabilitar el modo de búsqueda segura..
En otras palabras esto significa, que usuarios alemanes p.ej. ya no podrán acceder a fotos en flickr que hayan sido "flagged", es decir marcadas como no seguras y para todo público... solamente flores y paisajes para los alemanes ...
No permitiremos que ésto suceda! Copia y carga esta foto a tu cuenta de yahoo por favor para mostrar a flickr quienes somos!
Deutsch:
Flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Möglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von Flickr!
Füge das Bild zu deinen Favoriten hinzu und poste es!
Italiano:
Se il vostro account Yahoo flickr e' localizzato in Singapore, Germania, Hong kong o Korea vi sara' solo concesso di vedere foto dal contenuto ritenuto SAFE, e non avrete opzione di scelta alcuna se vedere o no le foto in questione, senza la possibilià di inibire il controllo safe-search.
Aderite tutti contro la censura su flickr!

At yesterday's big Yahoo business annual meeting thing Yahoo rejected an anti-censorship proposal submitted by their shareholders. This was wrong. Yahoo already has a black eye over it's helping to jail Chinese journalist Shi Tao.
Part of the proposed anti-censorship proposal presented to Yahoo would have required that they not host data in countries who endorse censorship. In light of what happened to Shi Tao, this would seem to make some sense.
I as a Rover Scout and Sioux, I am against all type of censorship, listen, read and learn.
I think it makes good business sense to oppose censorship, but more significantly it is the right and ethical thing to do.
