Gulf Scout Camp wraps up, empowers youth
Bringing together around 350 scouts and leaders from across the Sultanate of Oman and GCC countries, the camp saw representation from all Gulf states, with eight participants from each.
In his concluding remarks, Ahmed bin Abdullah al Humaimi, Commander-in-Chief of the camp, highlighted the goals achieved during the camp — chief among them, shaping well-rounded, capable young individuals ready to contribute to national development. He noted that the camp's diverse activities aimed to build self-reliance, enhance responsibility, and develop leadership skills through hands-on scouting techniques and community engagement.
'The camp embodied determination and a forward-looking spirit,' Al Humaimi said, 'preparing a conscious generation that understands its national role, values teamwork and volunteering, and proudly embraces patriotism.'
The closing ceremony featured a visual presentation showcasing key moments and activities from the week-long camp. This included leadership training workshops, specialised scouting courses, and various events designed to foster community service and team spirit.
Shaikh Tariq bin Khalid al Hinai, Wali of Taqah and the event's patron, honoured the participating scouts and the organisations that contributed to the success of the camp.
The event marked another step forward in strengthening Gulf youth ties and empowering future leaders through the principles of scouting and shared regional values. - ONA
