Our Schools' Scouts Association
In addition to carrying a full academic schedule, our
Nairobi Kids also have the opportunity to participate in after school activities
such as the Kenya Scouting Association.Scouting
has a long history in Kenya, dating back to 1910.The focus of the Kenya Scouting Association
is on community service and character building.Scouting has become very popular in Kenya in recent years, and troops
can be found at schools across the nation, including Galilee Primary and
Waddington High Schools.
The video above was taken in late 2012 during a celebration
of World Water Day on the Galilee campus.The occasion was organized by the Haki Water Organization and sponsored
by the manufacturers of Life Guard Soap, which provided bathing soap to all of
the children.The GPS/WHS Scout Troop
can be seen marching in the video in their uniforms.We are so happy to know our students can participate in these learning opportunities.
