Notas do Editor
- It is likely that the idea for Swaps came from the potlatch ceremonies of the Native American Tribes of the Northwest coast. Potlatch ceremonies involved the trading of colored feathers as a sign of friendship. The ceremony is said to have developed in remembrance of two Native American girls who gave colored feathers plucked from a magic bird to colorless birds, thus ensuring all birds would have colored feathers. Potlatch ceremonies commemorated their gift and were held in conjunction with other family and tribal celebrations, such as births and marriages. The traditional invitation to a potlatch ceremony was the arrival of a messenger bearing the news and a bundle of sticks, one stick for each participant expected to attend. In 1924 the Imperial Jamboree was held at Wembly England, which was open to all of the Boy Scouts in the English Commonwealth. There was one group of Boy Scouts who could not attend, these Scouts had been hospitalized for a long time. Guiding/Scouting was very important part of many of these children's lives. They wore their uniforms even if bedridden and they had regular Guide/Scout activities. Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting/Guiding, was concerned that these children could not take part in the Jamboree, so he came up with an idea. Each of these children could make a "Mafuzziwog". Just as the boys who attended were selected on their scouting abilities, these children would be represented by the "Mafuzziwog" they made. A "Mafuzziwog" was a SWAP that the Scouts could make out of items they could find around the hospital. Using things such as tape, thread, bandages, and even chicken bones, each Scout made their own SWAP. The best of these were displayed at the Jamboree. Hopefully, they started some special friendships between the Scouts inside the hospital with the Scouts outside. The idea of S.W.A.P.S. started at the original National Roundup Conferences. At that time a "S.W.A.P." was a little remembrance that one Girl Scout gave to another. Swapping is a good way of starting correspondence with scouts from other states and countries. For this reason you usually attach your name or troop number and address for future reference.
