Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique
Encyclopedia
The Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique (LEMO), the national Scouting
organization of Mozambique
, was founded in 1960, and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement
in 1999. The coeducational Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique has 15,644 members as of 2011, with most members located in the major cities. Chief Scout Leonardo Adamowicz is from Poland
, hence the Liga dos Escuteiros de Moçambique uniform is similar to the Polish uniform, despite the climate differences. The similarities between the Mozambican Scout emblem and the Polish Scout lilijka may readily be noted, as well. The "D H P" in the emblem stands for Deus Honra Pátria, God Honor Country.
Mozambique hosted the 5th African Jamboree in 2006, (which had been postponed more than once), and was expected to host the cancelled World Scout Moot
in 2008. The association is a member of the Comunidade do Escutismo Lusófono
(Community of Lusophone
Scouting).
The Scout Motto is Sempre Pronto, Be Prepared, in Portuguese
