Scouting Woldwide and Local

Scout Movement Worldwide

Scouting is a worldwide Movement, currently active in 216 countries and territories with a global membership of over 28 million.
It was started in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell and was a totally new concept at the time, giving boys the opportunity to try activities which they would not otherwise have the chance to do. Scouting today has evolved and changed considerably to meet the changes in society and the world in general.

Scout Movement Local 

Arab Orthodox Scout of Gaza (AOSG) was founded in 1997. It is important to know that this is the only Sea Scout in all over Palestine. The AOSG started with 75 members of boys, but by the rime this number was increasing and now it has around 150 members of both boys and girls. Comparing to other scouts all over the world the AOSG has not so big membership, but inside Gaza it is the biggest scouting group, in addition to that it is only for the Christians who live in Gaza with that Gaza Christians is a minority. About me and this scouting group I am the Boy Scout Leader and the Leader of Drums Band.

About me...

I am Elias I E Fashho

From the day I was born, I was that intelligent boy interacting with everyone around me and attracting them to me. I entered school when I was five years old, and through the whole studying years at primary, preparatory, and secondary school I was the head of my class.

After I had finished school studies with 98.1 GPA, I joined the Islamic University of Gaza to study Engineering, and because of my interests I decided to study Computer Engineering. Computer Engineering is a very large field to study since everyday you have new things appear in that field and you must be up-to-date with all of these things to be in the lead. Among studying and working..... studying....working... and doing a lot of projects, that I will present here in the near future, doing a lot of successful presentations and a lot of exams till few weeks before, I have graduated and have been granted the Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering with a very good grade.

In addition to my studies I am a leader in a scouting group called the Arab Orthodox Scout of Gaza (AOSG) which is the biggest scouting group in Gaza Strip. I joined this group since I was a cup scout when I was 10 years old, and I have been promoted regularly according to my hard work in scouting camps or in volunteering in lots of fields till I was certified as a leader in 2003 after having the required courses and became the leader of boy scouts. Until now the group has many activities ,which I will show here, hoping to be bigger and bigger to contribute in Scouting Movement around the world.

According to my religion I am Christian and I am an intoner in our church here in Gaza which is Church of Saint Porphyrius, and also a teacher in the Sunday School in the same church. Saint Porphyrius was born in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, 347. He visited Gaza in 395 AD accompanied by a "Deacon Mark" who wrote the life history of this Saint. It took five years to build this church and it was built in 407 AD, so it is a very old church, I may put some pictures of it here. 

Now I am searching for a temporary work till finding a scholarship to study Master degree.

I hope you find useful materials here in my blog to start working or to help you with a specific problem.
