“The power of Scouting is that it equips and empowers young people with the necessary life skills and leadership abilities to play an active role in society. By engaging in acts of community service, Scouts are working to promote peace, tackle plastics pollution, encourage access to clean water and sanitation, and drive towards renewable energy.”
