    The Brunei Darussalam Scout Association (PPNBD) held a tree planting event yesterday to mark the association’s 90th anniversary and instil the culture of preserving the environment.

    The event, one of the association’s activities during its 90 years of scout movement in the Sultanate, was held at the Tutong District Scout Headquarters.

    Acting Tutong District Officer Mohammad Sofian bin Haji Basri officiated.

    As many as 90 tree saplings were planted to mark the movement’s 90 years in the country.

    The main event of the 90th celebration will be the fifth national Jamboree in December.

    PPNBD President Dato Paduka Ar Haji Idris bin Haji Abas and Scout Chief Commissioner Haji Awang Badar bin Haji Awang Ali were also present.

    The PPNBD always supports actions to preserve the country’s environment. Meanwhile, the Messenger of Peace Programme is a global programme celebrated annually on June 1 involving Scout members worldwide to implement projects contributing to peace in their respective countries.
