More than 120 cubs and scouts from across the South Cen­tral Dis­trict took part in the first an­nu­al dis­trict camp over the week­end, as the scout move­ment con­tin­ues to in­stil in young peo­ple life skills, dis­ci­pline and team­work.

Dis­trict Scout Com­mis­sion­er and deputy camp chief for Camp Pointe-a-Pierre, Cur­tis Din­di­al, said the pro­gramme was de­signed to keep youths mean­ing­ful­ly en­gaged while help­ing them de­vel­op life­long skills and re­la­tion­ships.

“It is the goal and vi­sion of scout­ing for young peo­ple and to­day at the South Cen­tral dis­trict, our plan of ac­tion is to en­gage our scouts mean­ing­ful­ly, where they will gain life­long re­la­tion­ships and have fun. Whilst they are learn­ing skills, they will be ac­com­plish­ing badges over this pe­ri­od of time and most im­por­tant­ly, they will de­vel­op friend­ships by in­ter­act­ing with var­i­ous scout­ing groups,” Din­di­al said dur­ing the camp at the Petrotrin Sports Club.
