First DISI course in Nigeria scout NSO.
The educational department of the scout association of Nigeria put up the first ever Diversity inclusion and social impact course which recorded nineteen participants from seven states in the NSO.
The course kicked off on the 19th and ended on the 25th of March 2017. The course had resource persons from Nigeria, Unite kingdom and U.S.A.
The head of the educational department of the NSO; Apst. Tola Adenekan was the leader of the course with the M.O.P coordinator of the NSO Mr. Solomon Etim as the course administrator. The course was lively and fun packed and.
A song was composed in the course of the program by the course leader Apst. Tola Adenekan; the song in a nutshell fully depicts what and who we are as scouts. The song became the official song for the course and am sure that subsequently it will come up not only in the DISI department but in other sections of scouting also.
Check here, the breakdown:
“From cradle to death learners we are, where there is a will there is a way”
From cradle to death learners we are
We are scouts
We are scouts
We are scouts
The breaking down of the song shows scouting in a nutshell and its purpose;
“From cradle to death learners we are”- this shows the educational method of scouting.
Scouting is a lifelong educational especially for
Young people (reference to mission statement)
to bring out positive potentials in them that will
affect their communities and the world.
“where there is a will there is a way”- this shows the readiness for scouts to learn and to
make the world a better place.
Scouting motivates young people to influence and
impact their societies positively. The willingness to
do this is stirred up in the scout by the various
frameworks that scouting has made available.
– Messengers of peace, scout of the world award,
food for life program, scouts go solar and many others.
