Hon. Salim Ahmed Salim Honoured
Scouts from all over the world who converged at the Arusha International Conference Centre to mark the Africa Scout Day witnessed the recognition of Hon. Salim Ahmed Salim for his leadership that lead to the establishment of the Africa Scout Day. Hon. Salim was the Secretary General of the Organization of African Unity (now African Union) when Resolution 1607 of the Council of Ministers that recognized Scouting contribution to the development of Africa and created the Africa Scout Day was passed.
Since the resolution in 1995, Hon. Salim has been a great supporter and benefactor of Scouting in the United Republic of Tanzania. What a befitting occasion to celebrate his significant contribution to Scouting!
