Under the dynamic leadership of Scouter Adebayo Temitope, the Egbe-Idimu Scout District commemorated Founder’s Day with a vibrant celebration that left a lasting impression on all who participated. The festivities kicked off with a spirited Town Parade, where over 60 participants proudly showcased their scouting spirit and camaraderie, marching through the streets with pride and enthusiasm.
The highlight of the day was the Community Awareness event, where scouts engaged with the local community, spreading awareness about the values and impact of scouting. The visit extended beyond the scout district, as scouts had the privilege of visiting the esteemed residence of one of Idimu Land's High Chiefs, Alhaji Olayiwola, who graciously welcomed them with open arms. This gesture of support and recognition from a respected community leader further underscored the significance of the occasion.
Additionally, the Egbe-Idimu Scout District had the honor of visiting the Executive Chairman's Office of Egbe-Idimu Local Council Development Area. Although the Executive Chairman was unable to attend in person, the district was warmly received by the Coordinator of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Egbe-Idimu branch, who represented the Chairman with grace and hospitality. The presence of the district's National Executive Commissioner, TSAN, added prestige to the event, highlighting the importance of scouting at a national level.
As the day came to a close, the Egbe-Idimu Scout District expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for the resounding success of the program. Their shared vision and dedication were evident in every aspect of the celebration, demonstrating that together, they are building tomorrow's leaders today.
