Guyana’s scout movement is expected to embark on a major recruitment drive after two officials return from an international leadership programme in the United States, an official said.

Assistant Cub Scout Leader Queens College Scout Group, Joshua Ramcharitar and Assistant District Commissioner Guyana Police Force Scout Group, Theon Hope left Guyana for Houston, Texas for the programme.

They are participating in the first ever Inter American Leadership Training programme which is being hosted by the Boy Scouts of America.

“This will equip us with the necessary knowledge to return home and organise training sessions and do large recruitment drives for the Scout Association of Guyana,” said Hope.

The nine-day programme began on December 26.
