Director Pisut Yongkamol’s Speech

             Master has watched this parade for over 20 years and this year’s is the most beautiful year for marching. It proves that if “Ektra students want to do something they can do it”. It’s hard to believe that our Cub Scouts are only Cubs because, although are small, they can march very smartly. I must compliment the teachers who trained their students so well.

             I would like to leave with you an observation that in this world there is much hate, religious war, racial discrimination, and conflict all around, but I would like students to realize and understand deeply that our country is different from other countries. Although the weather is hot or it rains heavily, we don’t have problems like many countries that have separation by race and skin colour. We have never had a civil war in this regard.

             No matter how much time has passed, the unity of our people is the most important thing. Where there is there is no breakage. Unity comes from sacrifice. This means having Boy and Girl Scouts who are strong even when they feel tired, and have much patience. We have cultivated this sacrifice into our subconscious mind which will allow us to grow into quality adults who will help the country in all respects.

             Today, to the parents that are present, we must thank you for your kindness. Your children are doing well both in marching and being self-disciplined. True discipline comes from the heart. It will help our children to grow into adults who show real leadership.
