RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian Scout Association (SASA) joined the World Organization of the Scouts Movement in celebrating the World Scout Scarf Day.
The holiday is celebrated on Aug. 1, where active and former scouts are encouraged to wear their scarves and make the “spirit of scouting” visible.
SASA organized a ceremony at its headquarters in Riyadh, in the presence of members of its general secretariat. 
The idea of celebrating the anniversary was inspired on the centenary of scouting in 2007 by the Austrian Scouts, who asked scouts to wear their scarves in public to encourage the movement worldwide.
