Djarot: Scout Should Inspire the Youth to Promote Indonesia

Jakarta Vice Governor, Djarot Saiful Hidajat said, Scout can be one effort to educate the young generation in Indonesia. Therefore, he feels concerned by some party who assume the Scout activity is unimportant.

We can arrange the programs that can be applied to promote Indonesia

"I am concerned and angry because many schools still consider that scout is not important, and I am offended that there are schools that not carry the flag ceremony," told Djarot, while opening the Regional Working Meeting of Jakarta Scout Movement, at City Hall, Wednesday (1/4).

Djarot uttered, to foster nationalism, people will face a very serious challenge because both public and private schools today are even more bragging about foreign culture. “It’s a great challenge. But, the challenge will push the scout to work harder," he said.
