Following the 3rd World Indaba in The Netherlands, a small team of Hungarian scoutleaders traveled to Tunisia to visit the 4th Pan-Arab Jamboree. Never before did we have the privilege to attend a Jamboree of this kind, and we came home full of admiration for the highly developed and quite distinctive camping technique demonstrated in the beautiful Tunisian scout reservation, Bir 31-Bey, as well as in the Hover Sub-camp at Bordj Cedria. The camp was an ideal place to make lots of acquaintances, and to talk to the top leaders of Arab Scouting, including the popular Regional Executive Commissioner, Mr.Ali Dandachi. We hope that in the future more non-Arab delegations will be given the opportunity to visit Pan- Arab Jamborees, for they could learn a great deal from the friendly and highspirited scouts of that region. A vote of special thanks goes to the contingents of Kuwait, Libya, and Tunisia for the good fellowship and hospitality.

The West-African Tour carried us through Nigeria, Togo, Ivory Coast,Liberia, and Senegal, up to Morocco. The pictures you see here should testify to the wonderful reception given by the African brother scouts /particularly in Nigeria, Ghana, and Liberia/. We had an exciting program in each country, and we returned to our present home6 rich in experience and mutual understanding. Let us all pray that scouting may have a bright future in Africa.
