SMJA AIR SCOUTS CELEBRATE WORLD SCOUT SCARF DAY

 

The Brunei Darussalam Scout Association (PPNBD) marked the World Scouts Scarf Day at Super Tree, Pekan Bangar in Temburong District yesterday, joined by scouts across the country.

Celebrated by scout members around the globe every August 1, the PPNBD event was joined by Acting Temburong District Officer Pengiran Muhammad Ameer Mubaarak bin Pengiran Haji Hashim. The ceremony began with a speech from event chairman Pengiran Mahdi bin Pengiran Haji Salleh, followed by a presentation of a souvenir to the acting district officer from PPNBD President Haji Metussin bin Orang Kaya Sura Haji Tuba.

SM SMJA Air Scouts participated in the event after months of no scout activities. It was nice to be in uniform again and meet friends. The boys were appointed as front-liners to check for temperature for visitors. The girls contributed in the choir. It was also a learning experience to see that Air Scouting in Brunei actually started as early as 1999. And it was very active in Kuala Belait district. The display from the former teachers was called "the Blues" and there were the air scout leaders that championed the movement. 

We hope that there will be more fun events to participate and keep the movement alive. We thank the organizers, air scout commissioner, teachers and all persons who invited us and made this day great for us.
