250 scouts serve 60,000

voluntary hours in Makkah

The Ministry of Education Monday launched its seasonal initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan to serve visitors to the Grand Mosque; one such initiative entails having the Bader Scout Center perform 60,000 hours of voluntary work during Ramadan.

This work is done in cooperation with the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques and security forces, covering all field trails. More than 250 scouts will help visitors at the Grand Mosque, in its various courtyards and on the roads leading to it.

The voluntary teams from the Bader Center start their voluntary work after Al-Asr (afternoon) prayer and continue until midnight; their program includes distributing dates and coffee to fasting people at the tawaf area during iftar.

Scouts also guide worshippers within the Grand Mosque after having followed certain courses set by the mosque security forces, at the tawaf and sai entrances, to help organize the crowds.
