Mumbai,  26 June 2025:

A special programme was organised at St. Xavier’s Boys Academy on the 26th of June for the students of Std 10. The event was graced by a dignitary, Mr. Tahir Shabbir, who visited the school to address the students on the topic of Scouting.

In his inspiring speech, Mr. Shabbir explained the *importance of scouting* in students’ lives. He highlighted how scouting teaches values like discipline, leadership, teamwork, and service to society. He also shared his own experiences as a scout and motivated the students to participate actively in scouting activities.

In addition, *Mr. Shabbir taught the students various scouting knots* and explained their practical uses during camps and emergencies. The students listened attentively and participated with great enthusiasm.

The Teachers of the academy, thanked Mr. Shabbir for sparing his valuable time and sharing his knowledge. The event concluded with a vote of thanks and the singing of the national anthem.

Overall, it was an enriching and memorable experience for all the students of Std 10.
