Scouting Movement Instils Integrity, Leadership In Youth - PPM

SANDAKAN, April 12 (Bernama) -- The Scouts Association of Malaysia (PPM) is committed to shaping young people into individuals who are honest, trustworthy, principled and of good character.

Deputy National Chief Commissioner of Scouts Ahmad Sabri Saad said in scouting, integrity is not an option but an obligation.

“Integrity is important as the core of organisational leadership, which means that scout leaders must first demonstrate these values in their actions, decisions and work culture.

“True leadership must be shown through example, and scout leaders need to be living examples of the discipline and integrity they seek to instil in young members,” he said in a statement in conjunction with the Sabah PPM Excellence Appreciation Ceremony here today.

He added that the Sabah chapter, with its capable line-up of leaders, is able to produce more scouts who can go on to become community leaders with a bright future.

“Sabah PPM has an important place in the national scouting landscape, given its strong grassroots spirit and solid community involvement,” he said.

Meanwhile, he said the Excellence Appreciation Ceremony highlighted integrity and leadership by example as key messages in strengthening the scouting movement in the state.

The Sabah chapter currently has 18,947 members.
