Scouts, known in Thai as look seua, from different nationalities and scouting branches wearing various uniforms, including rover boy scouts in beige uniforms, an air scout in a blue uniform, a sea scout in a beige uniform, and a boy scout in a khaki-green uniform, lifting their arms towards the sky around the logo of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, i.e.a French lily or fleur-de-lis with two stars, surrounded by a piece of rope tied with a reef knot, which is overarched by the Thai text Look Seua Pheua Santhiphaap (ลูกเสือเพื่อสันติภาพ), i.e. ‘Scouting For Peace’, and the English text A World of Peace Through Scouting, which is flanked by the silhouette of a flying bird on each side. In the bottom left corner is the emblem of the National Scout Organization of Thailand, a fleur-de-lis with two stars and a tiger head over a banner with the Thai scout motto sia chihp yah sia sat (เสียชีพอย่าเสียสัตย์), which freely translates as ‘Death before Dishonesty’, and encircled by a yellow border with the text National Scout Organization of Thailand in both English and Thai, the latter being Kha-na Look Seua Haeng Chaht (คณะลูกเสือแห่งชาติ). Underneath the emblem of the National Scout Organization of Thailand is the text 75th Anniversary of World Scouting, also in both English and Thai.
