RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian Scouts Association (SASA) has launched a new environmental protection program at King Salman Wildlife Park in Banban, north of Riyadh, marking a renewed commitment to conservation and youth engagement in sustainability efforts.
The initiative, unveiled in the presence of scouts, rovers, and scout leaders representing various scouting sectors, brought together partners from relevant government agencies and private-sector organizations, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The program reflects growing collaboration between civic groups and national institutions to advance environmental protection goals across the Kingdom.
Abdulrahman Al-Mudaris, secretary-general of the association, said the initiative underscores the scouts’ active role in supporting national strategies to preserve natural resources and promote sustainable development.
He emphasized that environmental scouting is not only a public service activity but also an educational approach designed to instill environmental awareness and encourage responsible behavior among young people.
The launch event featured a series of hands-on activities, including planting seedlings, sowing seeds, and distributing them throughout the park to support vegetation growth and enhance biodiversity.
Founded in 1961, the Saudi Arabian Scouts Association is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement and operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education.
Over the decades, Saudi scouts have played a visible role in community service, disaster response, and public event organization, including supporting pilgrim services during Hajj and Umrah seasons.
