I volunteered as part of the organising team and coordinated the International Day of Peace celebration alongside the Scout Focal Teacher at Gomtu Higher Secondary School. Although the International Day of Peace is officially observed on 21st September, we could not celebrate it on the actual day due to the ongoing term tests. Therefore, the celebration was held on Thursday, 24th September 2026.

The event brought together 227 Nazhoen Scouts (104 boys and 123 girls), along with 11 Scout Leaders, teachers, and members of the Scout Commission. Due to rain, the programme was held inside the MPH, beginning with the Zhabten, National Anthem, and Scout Anthem. This was followed by a speech from a Leadership Scout and an address by the Scout Commission on the importance of peace. The programme continued with class-wise poster presentations based on the theme, “Peace Is a Choice. Let’s Invest in It.”

After the judges evaluated the posters, chocolates were distributed, and the event concluded with a Scout yell. Overall, the celebration promoted kindness, respect, cooperation, and unity while strengthening my own leadership, teamwork, and coordination skills.
