the scout movement.

 

The ministry of education is keen on taking much care of scouts, and answering all their needs, given that scouting, no buts, inculcates in students self-dependence and personality improvement, the minister noted.

 

Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education for Educational Development and Activities Faisal Al-Meqseed said meanwhile that the camp attracted 1,500 scouts and leaders from different educational directorates, in addition to scouts from Gulf, Arab and friendly countries.

 

He emphasized that scouting is of paramount significance to encouraging young people to capitalize on, and develop, their capabilities and skills in a constructive fashion.  - KUNA
