All you need is access to the internet. Log on to www.inbhutan.com. Drop in your feelings for His Majesty. You need not be a poet or a writer. You just need to know how to write.
While many are still pondering over innovative ideas to celebrate the centenary of the Monarchy in 2008, Sonam Jatso, an internet savvy young man came up with the idea of a website dedicated to showcase the love of everyday Bhutanese for his Majesty the Fourth King.

By coincidence several of the cars taking place in this event were parked at Inverewe Garden during our visit to the gardens on Wednesday 6 June.

2007 is the centenary of the Scout Movement. 100 years ago in 1907, Scouting started with an experimental camp held on Brownsea Island in Dorset led by war veteran Lord Robert Baden-Powell. Prompted by his famous book “Scouting for Boys” published in 1908, Scout groups were set up throughout the country, and quickly expanded to other parts of the British Empire.
In 1920 the first World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920 at Olympia in London and was an inside exhibition of Scouting. The second, held four years later held in Copenhagen was the first international Scout camp which set the tradition of Scout Jamborees.
Today Scouting has twenty-five million members world-wide (not counting Guides) and is still growing. Approximately four million of those are from the United States, the largest single Scout Association. There are 155 countries with internationally recognised National Scout Organisations. There are more than 28 million Scouts, youth and adults, boys and girls in 216
