The Lebanese Scouting Federation ((フランス語:Fédération du Scoutisme Libanais), (アラビア語:إتحاد كشاف لبنان)), is the national federation of 29 Scouting organizations of Lebanon, founded in 1961. The federation became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1947. ==History== Scouting was introduced in Lebanon by two teachers, Abdul Satar and Mohammad Abdul Jabbar Khairy who received support from Toufik El Hibri. They came to Lebanon from England in 1912 and established the first Scout troop in the school owned by El Hibri, where they worked. This troop had lots of activities later including a trip to Istanbul, Turkey, where they met Ottoman sultan Mehmed V. Members of this troop played a great role in spreading Scouting in Lebanon and other countries. After Lebanon gained its independence in 1943, Scouting spread rapidly, to cover every part of the country. During the years of war in Lebanon, Scouts, from all association played an important role in helping civilians. They distributed food, medicine, and other forms of aid to refugees. Some Scouting associations formed First Aid groups that helped the wounded. Scouts also participated in peace campaigns to help put an end to that war. During the war, Scouts from all sides of the conflict remained brothers and remained in contact with each other. Their unity was a good example for all Lebanese. All this helped create a good image for Scouting in Lebanon. People here tend to respect Scouts and encourage their children to join the Scouting movement. Today, years after the war had ended, Scouting in Lebanon still faces great tasks. Lebanon is now involved in a large reconstruction plan aimed to erase all the effects of the war and to enable it to regain its advanced role in the region and the world. This has already begun. The role of Scouting is to erase the effects of the war from the minds of the people who lived through it. Scouts are promoting the ideas of peace and unity through campaigns and summer camps, especially for children. In 1973, Muhammad Toufik El Hibri was posthumously awarded the ''Bronze Wolf'', the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting. Other recipients include Dr. Farid Karam in 1977 and Rashid Shoucair in 1981. The ''Arab Regional Jamboree'' was to be held in Lebanon in August 2006, however without a stable and peaceful environment, the leaders of the Arab Region decided to defer the date of the event to be in Beirut during 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scouts & Guides call for immediate Peace in the Middle East )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lebanese Scouting Federation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
