More than 1,100 scouts assist worshippers at the Two Holy Mosques

MAKKAH: The Saudi Arabian Scouts Association is running public service camps at the Two Holy Mosques during Ramadan, involving more than 1,100 scout leaders and members.

The volunteer program runs throughout the fasting month, providing services to Umrah performers, other worshippers, and fasting visitors in close coordination with the relevant authorities, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The scout teams’ tasks include providing guidance, orientation and crowd management services, assisting the elderly and people with disabilities, and delivering humanitarian and on-site support at designated locations at the Two Holy Mosques.

Backed by intensive training and preparation programs, the scouts have strengthened their readiness on the ground and elevated their performance to meet the association’s highest standards of quality and governance, reflecting their commitment to leadership and excellence in organized volunteer work.

The association emphasized that these camps are managed under a unified institutional framework that brings together all scouting sectors, following clear operational plans and precise organizational structures.

This approach helps standardize procedures, boost performance efficiency, and maximize the positive effect of services provided, fulfilling the vision of the Kingdom’s leadership in caring for visitors to the Two Holy Mosques and facilitating their rituals with ease and peace of mind.
