Kuwaiti Scouts Clean Up

Posted by admin under: International .

I wonder if this is a trend. After the meeting in Turkey about Scouts helping to clean up the environment, followed by a clean-up event, I now see another clean-up event in Kuwait. Perhaps the Middle-East is getting serious about promoting a healthy environment with Boy Scouts and Girl Guides taking a large role in helping that effort.

‘Operation Turtles’ aims to raise awareness of environmental problems and offer a way of preserving natural resources. “It’s called Operation Turtles since it allows the turtles to come back and lay their eggs on a clean beach,” explained Sasaki Wataru, a volunteer from the Japanese embassy in Kuwait.

Volunteers from many organizations, including the Kuwait Environmental Protection Society (KEPS), the Kuwait Boy Scouts Association and a number of schools, including Salmiyah Girls’ School, Baraka Bint Al-No’man School and Arwa Bint Abd Al-Mutaleb School, participated in the clean-up operation.

A Scout is clean, it appears, all over the world!
