July 1: National Scout Day
Yesterday, July 1, was National Scout Day. That is the day that King Rama VI introduced scouting to Thailand 104 years ago in 1911. Thailand was one of the first countries in the world to have a scouting programme.
The biggest and most colourful event took place at the National Stadium in downtown Bangkok. Scouts, both boys and girls of all ages, came to the stadium dressed in their own very different uniforms. Were you there?
