The final activity plan for the World Committee for the years 2005 2008 was
presented.
Mrs. Rigmor Lauridsen of Denmark presented the idea that the Kenyan NSGF
should initiate a march bring a flame from the grave of BP to Brownsea Island,
arriving Aug. 1
st
2007. Also that all participants in the centennial celebrations
should bring some ashes from the campfire to their home NSGFs. This idea
received appreciation from the conference.
Mrs. Lauridsen also suggested a review of the order of the listing of the
activities as presented by the World Committee. Although the individual items
were not numbers, the order in which the items are presented may also carry
some significance, which should be addressed. The Word Committee, as
represented by Riccardo Della Rocca, agreed to take Mrs. Lauridsen's
suggestions to their hearts.
The activity plan was accepted

the travel costs, which might exclude candidates for financial reasons.
