Biggest Scout Emblem

The Scout Movement aimed to support young minds  in their physical,mental and spiritual development so that they play constructive roles in the society.The objective of the scouting campaign  is to make people assume leadership roles  and make them rise to their full potential. The Scout method is a progressive system designed to achieve these goals, comprising seven elements: law and promise, learning by doing, team system, symbolic framework, personal progression, nature, and adult support.The Scout movement has gained massive support all over and has been accepted in a wide variety of cultures.

As a true testimony to this scouts in Mexico city collected more than one million cans  to create a 100 meters scout emblem .The emblem was touted to be the biggest scouting emblem in the world.It took thousands of Scouts more than 2 days to build the shining Scout Emblem that broke the world Record and helped raise money for charities.
 For the nineth year in a row, thousands of Scouts travelled to the central plaza of Mexico City to 'draw' the fleur-de-lys (the emblem of World Scouting) in aluminium cans.  Scouts from all over the country came prepared to lend their feet to the action. The global symbol of scout brotherhood measured 100 metres and went some way to educating the locals about recycling and the environment.
This record proved to be a record breaker as the scouts broke their own record for the number of cans used to create Fleur  de Lis .Also  they have been  holding this record for the past nine years.
The money received by selling the cans would go for charitable purposes.The emphasis on "learning by doing" provides experiences and hands-on orientation as a practical method of learning and building self-confidence. Small groups build unity, camaraderie, and a close-knit fraternal atmosphere. These experiences, along with an emphasis on trustworthiness and personal honor, help to develop responsibility, character, self-reliance, self-confidence, reliability, and readiness; which eventually lead to collaboration and leadership. A program with a variety of progressive and attractive activities expands a Scout's horizon and bonds the Scout even more to the group. Activities and games provide an enjoyable way to develop skills such as dexterity. In an outdoor setting, they also provide contact with the natural environment.
The Biggets scout emblem was set by many scouts in Mexico City,Mexico on August 4,2008.
