Apart from formal education, scouts have immense importance as co-curricular activities. Scouting helps children and teenagers become good citizens by teaching with joy. Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started Scouting in the country in 1972 and issued a Presidential Ordinance recognizing Scouting. In the 52 years of its establishment, Bangladesh Scouts is playing a commendable role in making the scouts smart, self-reliant and responsible citizens along with increasing the number of members. I call upon all concerned to make unremitting efforts to continue this trend of the Scout movement.'

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced 'Vision 2041' to make Bangladesh a developed-rich-smart scouting country by 2041. To achieve this goal, it is the need of the hour to develop the youth as honest, ideal, smart citizens through smart scouting.
