Celebrating 54 years of Scouting in the Maldives - 30th May 2010

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH A VERY HAPPY 54TH NATIONAL SCOUT DAY TO ALL THE SCOUTERS OF MALDIVES.

Scouting began in Maldives 19th Shawal 1375 H, 30th May 1956. This date the day Scouting was registered in the Government of Maldives. And the patron of Scouting was then the Prime Minister Sumul Ameer Ibrahim Famuladheri Kilegefaan and the Scout Commissioner was Sahibul Saadha Ibrahim Nasir and the Chief Scout was Wazeerul Maarif (Minister of Education) Hon. Ibrahim Shihab and the Scout Master was Bandhu Mohamed Kalefanu.

28th January 1984 The Maldives Boy Scouts Association was established.

Maldives became a member of the World Scout Movement on 23rd July 1990 at the Paris World Scout Conference.

PS: Today also happens to be the Birth day of my good friend and scouter Mariyam Shuhana Abdulla, wish you a very happy birthday, many happy returns of the day.
