Both Mr. Damian Kliman and Anne sofi Wicklar expressed their great admiration of the Algerian Muslim Scouts upon the arrival of the scout delegation returning from Tunisia which participated in the events of the 28 Arab Camp. At their meeting with the delegation, they expressed their admiration of the level attained by the scouts, during a tête-à-tête with some of the Algerian scouts, especially those who participated in the international jamboree in Britain. On the occasion scarves were exchanged as well as some scouting badges as an expression of the good relations and friendship which connects scouts. The French delegation will be spending almost an entire month in Algeria.
 

In the context of exchanging visits between the south and the north, on the morning of Monday 11 of August, the Mohammed Bourass Regiment from the city of Ouargla, which is camping in the province of Tipaza, visited the General Command of the Algerian Muslim Scouts. The visit also came under the context of getting to know the General Command and its divisions, as well as the Scouts Shop, which has become the centre of attraction for scout regiments across the nation. The brownies, cubs, scouts and leaders were admiring of the new décor of the General Command, which has been decorated from the reception area through to the offices. The regiment was welcomed by the General Commander of the Algerian Muslim Scouts, Mr. Nourreddine Ben Brahm, who was accompanied by Miss Aqila Himar from the Media Division at the General Command of the Algerian Muslim Scouts.
 

Scout Commander Moubaraka has made an historic achievement in the Algerian Muslim Scouts through her recent election to the position of Deputy Provincial Governor of the province of El-Beid, Head of administration, after a period of campaigning, during which she highlighted her scouting activities at both the national and international levels.

In the framework of assistance projects conducted by the Algerian Muslim Scouts, the General Command of the Algerian Muslim Scouts outlined a special program for the blessed month of Ramadan wherein it designated 10 centres throughout the capital solely for the distribution of hot meals and Ramadan baskets. Scout Commander Abdurahman Arar, Director of Social Service and Development, confirmed that the Ramadan Baskets are prepared and presented in accordance with the budget provided for the project. As with regards to the hot meals, 10 centres covering 30 different towns will reach poor and needy families and the scheme will be carried out in coordination with provincial leaders, the Administrative Director of Social Affairs, and Scout Commanders from the protectorates. The example of the capital is considered to be a step which will be broadened to cover all of the provinces in the nation. Concerning the hot meals, it has been determined that 1000 meals a day will be distributed to travellers and the needy, with Scout leaders and itinerants from 10 regiments in the capital supervising the project. The human recruitment will be considerable in addition to the assistance stations, which regularly support circumcision projects for boys during the 27^th night of Ramadan, most of which are for the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr (the festival for the celebration of the end of Ramadan), and are carried out by the majority of scouts regiments as rotational visits to the elderly, hospital inpatients and needy families. Such activities as these are part of a well-founded tradition within the scouting movement.
