The scouts enjoyed a unique experience that went beyond typical celebrations, blending heritage, culture, and community engagement through diverse programs suitable for all ages. The theme “Roots” emphasized the significance of heritage as the foundation of Emirati identity, representing a sense of belonging and authenticity that enriches the present and inspires the future.
