Credit: Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) found substantial evidence that the Palestinian Scouts falsely told the umbrella international organization there are two Palestinian Scout organizations to deflect from the fact that their Jerusalem Scout Commission ran a leadership training course named \u201cMartyr &#8211; Leader Baha Alyan Course\u201d in honor of a terrorist, who killed three Israeli bus passengers in Oct. 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The watchdog group urged the Scouting organization to ensure that they do not take \u201cpart in training future Scout leaders to see terrorist murderers as role models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian Scout group convinced the international Scouting organization that they are not the group who held the course. WOSM now claims the course was held by another Palestinian Scout group, called the Palestinian Scout and Guide Association. However, PMW has found no evidence that there are separate associations.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian Scout Association is the English translation of their official Arabic name, the Palestinian Scout and Guide Association, PMW found.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, the chairman of the Jerusalem Scout Commission, a branch of PSA, is seen in a video with a senior WOSM representative and instructors of the Alyan course, celebrating PSA\u2019s membership induction into the WOSM.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32102\" style=\"width: 316px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32102\" class=\"wp-image-32102 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-300x103.jpg\" alt=\"WOMW_website_w_logo\" width=\"306\" height=\"105\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-1024x352.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo.jpg 1430w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 306px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 306\/105;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32102\" class=\"wp-image-32102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-300x103.jpg\" alt=\"WOMW_website_w_logo\" width=\"306\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo-1024x352.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WOMW_website_w_logo.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-32102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is an image of the officially recognized Palestinian Scout group&#8217;s website.
