Furthermore, Parliament can support scouting by enacting the laws and budget planning. As for Mr. Juan Reig, member of the World Scout Executive Committee, presented that member countries of the United Nations already had adopted SDGs since 2015 for having a better world. Therefore, scouting should be put into practice to reach these goals as well and suggested that parliamentarians should establish a clear framework of scouting activities such as providing more resources for scout camping and learning from nature to protect the world since some countries still have these obstacles. Moreover, parliamentarians should exchange views with scout organizations especially the youth scouting to listen to what they need |
