This is an opportunity for school children to gather a wealth of experience for their lives. Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena. Presentation of the first service card took place by scouts who were engaged in services at “Temple Trees” to mark the beginning of the National Scout Service and Relationship Month. It was held under the patronage of Hon. Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.
The National Scout Service and Relationship Month organized by the Sri Lanka Scout Association will be implemented from 1st to 31st of July, and more than 110,000 scouts throughout Sri Lanka are expected to engage in scout services during this period.
Prime Minister further commenting at the occasion said –“The process of Scout service and relationship that donates one’s labour to a certain work has been implemented in our country for more than a century. School children joining in this process hold the Scout camp annually to maintain it.
Children get an opportunity to gather a wealth of experiences by travelling to a number of areas. I wish success to all scouts who are committed in that regard and to the Commissioner to take forward the scout movement by strengthening it.”
Chief Scout Commissioner Attorney at Law Mr. Janaprith Fernando said “The Service and Relationship Month 2024 begins on 01st of July. This project is implemented by scouts utilizing their labour for earning a portion of the money required for the association, the district and for their scout group.”
Scout Commissioners led by Deputy Chief Commissioner M.F.S. Muheed, and International Commissioner Dr.Rajeewa Peiris, and a group of other Commissioners and scouts joined this event.
