H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka officially closes 13th World Scouts Moot - Part 1

Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has lauded the role played by the scouting movement in the promotion of tourism as well as molding the country's young people to be responsible and successful citizens who can contribute positively to national development.

Speaking at the Rawallan camp in Nairobi on Friday evening during the official closing of the 13th World Scout Moot that brought together over 1,600 scouts from 66 countries across the world, Mr. Musyoka appealed to the participants to be ambassadors of goodwill by telling the story of what they saw while in Kenya.

He assured the scouts movements that the Government will support the movement in helping the youths bring a positive change in the society.

The Vice President reminded the youth that as taught in the scout movement, through dedicated duty to God, to others and to oneself, they can succeed in building a better world for all.

Mr. Musyoka thanked the World Organization of Scout Movement for granting the Kenya Scouts Association the honour to host the important global event saying that this is the first time an African country has hosted the moot since its inception in 1931.

During the 12 days of the scouting event, contemporary issues like peace, conflict resolution, environmental conservation and management, health and human rights were discussed.

The Vice President who is also the Chief Commissioner of Scouts urged the youth to take education seriously, besides setting their priorities right and maintaining high standards of discipline.
