SCOUTS HELP IN FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS
*****
A COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT BADGE SCHEME HAS BEEN DEVISED FOR SCOUTS IN HONG KONG TO JOIN THE BATTLE AGAINST DRUG ABUSE.
TO QUALIFY FOR THE BADGE, SCOUTS HAVE TO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN ANTI-DRUG ACTIVITIES.
+THE BADGE SCHEME IS VERY VALUABLE AND MEANINGFUL IN THAT IT WILL NOT ONLY HELP IN STEERING THE AT-RISK-GROUP AWAY FROM DRUGS, BUT ALSO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE DEVELOP A BETTER PERSONALITY AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY WELL,+ A SPOKESMAN FOR THE NARCOTICS DIVISION SAID TODAY (SATURDAY).
TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES, A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING COURSE ORGANISED BY THE DIVISION TO PROVIDE SCOUTS WITH A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE DRUG PROBLEM WAS HELD TODAY (SATURDAY) AT THE ACTION COMMITTEE AGAINST NARCOTICS (ACAN) YOUTH VOLUNTEERS' CLUBHOUSE.
+THROUGH THE TRAINING COURSE, SCOUTS WILL ALSO LEARN HOW TO TACKLE THE DRUG ABUSE PROBLEM AND TO DISSUADE PEOPLE OF THEIR AGE GROUP FROM ABUSING DRUGS, THE SPOKESMAN ADDED.
COURSES FOR VENTURE SCOUTS AND ROVER SCOUTS WILL BE ORGANISED LATER THIS YEAR.
A VISIT TO THE CUSTOMS AND EXCISE TRAINING SCHOOL WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
