Riyadh: The Saudi Arabian Scout Association participated in a cultural exchange event during the 16th World Scout Moot in Portugal.

The global event brought together more than 7,100 scouts from 118 associations worldwide, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

The Saudi delegation showcased the country’s culture by serving traditional coffee, displaying regional men’s attire, and offering popular local dishes.

The association also performed the traditional Ardah dance and other folk arts reflecting the Kingdom’s rich cultural heritage, the SPA added.

A photo exhibition highlighted Saudi scouts’ community service, especially their support for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and environmental protection efforts.
