The opening ceremony featured a virtual connection via Zoom with the Chief Commissioner of the Sri Lanka Scout Association, Attorney-at-law Mr. Janaprith Fernando, and the Anuradhapura District Commissioner of the Sri Lanka Scout Association, Mr. Sumith Amarathunga, from the World Scout Bureau in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
