It’s amazing to see how Pramuka continues to evolve, not only celebrating individual achievements like the MURI record but also creating lasting community impact through programs like the disaster training initiatives.
This event is a testament to the impact Scouts have in fostering leadership and collaboration. It’s exciting to see the local Scout groups working together with TNI, Polri, and Basarnas to prepare for disaster response – such initiatives really show the heart of the Scout movement.
