Message
Let me take this opportunity to thank all the 24 National Scout Organizations, including the of-ficials and staff, who took part in the successful conduct of the Rover Peace Baton that ended its journey last 10 March 2007 in Bonifacio Shrine, during the handover ceremony hosted by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines.
I would also like to congratulate all the Scouts, Rovers and Leaders for being part of this momentous event to celebrate the Golden Year Anniversary of the Asia Pacific Region and to welcome the Centenary Year of World Scouting.
I hope that in our respective NSOs, we achieve the real essence and purpose of this event, which is to educate young people and to promote peace.
May this event leave big impact among the participants and provided a great opportunity to young people to understand their roles in creating a better world as well as to generate positive image of Scouting and visibility in the society.
Together, let us welcome the Centenary year of World Scouting with a peace in our heart.
To everybody who worked enormously to make this project successful, we extend our deep ap-preciation, especially the Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Committee (2004-2007) who have shown great support and dedication throughout the duration of this project.
The Asia Pacific Region salutes to all of you.

I hope that the message of Peace and the impact it gave was left in the heart of all the Scouts, Rovers, Leaders, dignitaries and to the general public who became part of this event.

After traveling over 40,000 ki-lometers in Asia-Pacific for six months exploring major cities and provinces of 24 countries getting the participation of over
150,000 Scouts and seven heads of states, the Asia-Pacific Region Rover Peace Baton had culmi-nated in a grand ceremony held on 10th March 20067 in Manila, Philippines.
In a festive ceremony thousands of Scouts and key leaders of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines turned over the baton to the regional office headed by past
Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Commit-
tee Eric Khoo Chairman, together with
Regional Director Abdullah Rasheed.
Representatives from Bangladesh, Brunei
Darussalam, Indonesia, India, Maldives
and Papua New Guinea also came to
participate.
The success of the Rover peace campaign
was credited to the thousands of Lead-
ers and Scouts across the region who
devoted considerable time and resources
since its takeoff on August 2006. Adding
34
prestige to the campaign was the support shown by seven
heads of states.
Through this peace campaign, Scouts helped in raising the
awareness of people on the importance of peace in every
local community which is very much part of the Scout Move-
ment’s mission of creating a better world..
The Rover Peace Baton is one of the highlights in celebrating the golden anniversary of Scouting here in the Asia Pacific Region. Our region was born here, at the compound of Boy Scouts of the Philippines, in 1956. This was also the reason why Boy Scouts of the Philippines hosted the grand ceremony on 10 March 2007.
All throughout of 2007, Scouts in many parts of the world celebrated 100 years since Lord Baden Powell started Scouting in 1907.
And as we now in the second century of Scouting, I only hope one thing that may this Rover Peace Baton continue to be our symbol of peace, unity and long life to Scouting!
Mabuhay ang Scouting! Mabuhay Philippines!
