===Brazil=== | |||
Brazilian Scouting - União dos Escoteiros do Brasil - has a very active and vibrant Air Scouting program for its Air Scouts (Escoteiros do Ar) known in Portuguese as "Modalidade do Ar". [5] | |||
The first Air Scout Group was started in Brazil in 1938, and hosted by the 5th Army Aviation Regiment in Curitiba, PR which currently operates the Integrated Air Defense and Air Traffic Control Centre. The original founding was initiated by the Army Aviator - Lt. Col Vasco Alves Secco who founded the Air Scout Group 'Captain Richard Kirk'. | |||
Subsequently recognising the value of Air Scouting, the Brazilian Ministry of Aviation has issued decrees to all it's units to provide support to Air Scout Groups at all it's bases, as needed. | |||
Besides the standard activities of Scouting, Air Scouts in Brazil have additional air activities and learn suitable technical aviation related skills. | |||
Currently, the National Coordinator is the Scout Chief Fábio Augusto Giunti Ribeiro | |||
