ISGF launches 3rd Africa Regional Conference

The International Scouts and Guides Fellowship (ISGF) Ghana on Tuesday, April 2, 2019, launched its 3rd Africa Regional Conference in Accra with a call on the youth to promote peaceful coexistence.

Speaking at the launch, Ambassador Karbral Blay-Amihere stated that it is very important for society to place more emphasis on discipline, honesty, morality, respect for others and good conduct and service to others because "they are the what modern society needs."

He encouraged the scout members not to abandon their purpose in the Movement but rather feel motivated to serve and also let their light shine on others.

"Beyond this dedication, there is also the need for a serious drive to mobilize more boys and girls to join the movement so that together we can promote the development of our dear nation," he said.

Ambassador Blay-Amihere indicated that there is the need for the society to make a conscious effort to adopt a national policy that sought to inculcate in the youth, a sense of civic and social responsibility as well as honesty which is one of the main values of the Scouts and Guides Movement.
