Scout Resources to cover current Region Situation

“No one can have missed the recent news coverage from the Arab Region. The media have focussed on activity in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya but the protests are taking place across the region. Many of us have friends who are directly affected by these events and think of them daily. The Scout Association has sent its best wishes and offers of condolences for those who have gone home during the protests to both the region and individual countries. The Scouts in the region have been very active in providing civil support by providing first aid, distributing food and helping at refugee centres etc. http://scout.org/en/information_events/news/2011/scouts_tunisiens_aident_les_refugies
