To mark the 100th anniversary of the Swiss Scout Movement, two short image spots were filmed and will be shown in all major Swiss cinemas in June. A 17-year-old director, the Scouts of Maur and a number of volunteers were responsible for the project. 30 members of the crew recently filmed two 12-second commercials to celebrate the centenary of the Scout Movement. The scouts from the municipality of Maur developed the concepts themselves and then filmed the spots in Zurich's Balgrist school building and in a private house in Forch with the help of some professional filmmakers.
According to the press release, the commercials are primarily aimed at an adult audience. The commercials draw attention to the fact that young people achieve great things in scouting and make a tongue-in-cheek apology to teachers and parents for the consequences of the exhaustion that affects scouts after their activities in the demanding outdoors.
With around 45,000 members, the Swiss Scout Movement is the largest youth organization in Switzerland. It comprises 23 cantonal associations with more than 700 local sections and is affiliated to both Scout World Associations.
