Inceputuri

Acum 10 ani, cinci membri fondatori au pus bazele ACT-RO intr-un proces care a cuprins: stabilrea obiectivelor, pozitionare si identitate, echipa, statut, demersuri legale de infiintare, calendar activitati.
Pe trei dintre ei ii regasim astazi in structura asociatiei (Dan Dimancescu,  Alin Dimancescu, Viorel Dobritoiu).

La propunerea comitetului de organizare, am obtinut acordul entuziast al acad. Dan Berindei (descendentul primului presedinte al cercetasilor in anul 1914) pentru a ne fi presedinte de onoare.

A urmat un pas firesc, acela de a ne alinia la cercetasia traditionala internationala, unde am identificat povestea infiintarii asociatiei Baden-Powell Scouts' Association si existenta World Federation of Indeoendent Scouts (WFIS). Primul demers (17.10.2014) il gasiti mai jos.

Lansarea oficiala era prevazuta pentru primavara anului urmator (mai 2014).

Pentru anul 2024 pregatim evenimente care sa marcheze  10 ani de ACT-RO (in avanpremiera - ecusonul aniversar).

Gata Oricand!

Dear Mrs. [Vice-president],

I am honored to write you. I represent a group of senior scout leaders from Romania. This year we officially celebrate 100 years from the beginning of scouting in our country.

"Romanian Scouts" Association was established in 1914, founding member of WOSM in 1922 and banned in 1937. After a pause caused by historical circumstances (pre-war context, WW2, Communism), our scouting restarted in 1990 from two directions, first being represented by an organization founded by former scouts (active up to 1937), also called traditional scouts.

The National Organization of the Romanian Scouts (the second initiative that started in 1990) took advantage of its privileged position (full membership recognition by WOSM in 1993), and gradually absorbed the traditional scouts organization (1997-2000).

Our initiative group identified a set of issues:
-lack of tradition in today scouting (principles and practice)
-“modernist" trend in today scouting

In this respect we have a plan to start up a new association, in line with the principles and practices of the traditional scouting, but contemporary oriented. Some of our leaders activated on key positions in the former traditional association (1990-2000).

We discovered the BP-Scout Association story and we were excited. Going further we were encouraged by the presence of the World Federation of Independent Scouts.

Specifically speaking, we would like to share with you our key planned dates: legal establishment on March 2014 and official launch for May 2014.

Even at this preliminary stage, we express our intention to join WFIS, given that our construction is long-term based and we would like to anticipate next steps.

At this point we would like to ask you
-what do you think about our affiliation intention?
-are there any specific conditions besides the one related to “not be a member of another world organization”?
-the “prospective member” refers to an candidate status?
-what other info (WFIS related) do you think would help us at this moment?

Thank you and waiting for your answer,

Alin Dimancescu

Diplomat Engineer, 18 years background in advertising and communication.
Nephew of Dimancescu brothers (Dimitrie and Ioan), founders (being high school students) of the first Romanian boy-scouts patrol in the summer of 1913. In the ‘30s my grandfather (I.D.) was the commander of Bucharest Scouts Legion. 

Over the last years I promoted our local scouting history (through archive info, projects, partnerships) as a traditional landmark of the today scouting. In the spring of this year I was co-organizer of the National Exhibition "100 years of Romanian Scouting", hosted by the National Military Museum “King Ferdinand I” in Bucharest.
