Bandar Seri Begawan - "By 2013, our vision is to have 10,000 scout members and to provide challenging programmes."

This was stated in a briefing on Rover Scouting during the meet-and-greet session for the Brunei Darussalam National Scout Association (PPNBD) at Universiti Brunei Darussalam.

The briefing, which is aimed at explaining the aim, principles, purpose and concepts of rover scout, was delivered by by Hj Badar bin Haji Ali, Matassim bin Duraman, Haji Osman Hj Duraman and Zainuddin bin Hj Ishak.

The president of PPNBD, Pehin Dato Haji Awang Mohd Ali bin Hj Md Daud in his speech said a lot of leaders were involved in uniformed groups and he encouraged the students from UBD to participate more in the uniformed group activities.

In his welcoming remarks, Pg Dr Hj Mohamed bin Pg Damit, Dean of Student Affairs Universiti Brunei Darussalam, said, "I was informed that there are intentions to set up a Rover Scout in UBD.

"More than 30 students from the first year are interested and today this effort is part of the student development programme and is the first step towards realising the intention.

"However, students have to wait first because it is important to have the infrastructure in order to achieve the aim." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
