In his address, Governor Ansar expressed his appreciation to Mabida and all members of the Natuna Scout Branch leadership. He underscored the vital role of the Scout Movement in shaping a generation of youth who are disciplined, possess strong integrity, and embrace a spirit of nationalism.
Governor Ansar further stated that the Scout Movement is not merely about scouting activities but focuses primarily on character education, leadership development, and social responsibility. He hopes the newly inaugurated board will bring renewed energy and enthusiasm to the advancement of scouting in Natuna.
Echoing the Governor’s remarks, Natuna Regent Cen Sui Lan affirmed her full commitment to supporting all scouting development programs and activities in the region.
