Event's logo

The logo of the 28th Interamerican Scout Conference consists of a representation of the Interamerican Region in ñandutí. Traditional fabric from Paraguay, the host National Scout Organization.

Ñandutí, whose most probable meaning in Guarani is spider web, is a needle lace that Paraguayan artisans weave on frames in radial circles, embroidering geometric or zoomorphic motifs, in various colors and imitates the design of a spider web. It is used in details for clothing, hats, hand fans and all kinds of ornamental items.
