have to acquire good education, deep understanding of issues and inculcate good
values.
The NRI Commissioner said advised the Scouts and Guides that if
every day they do something to increase their knowledge, to learn a good habit
and indeed, do a good deed, they would have taken one step forward towards a
better future. He reminded them that life is full of varied experiences - joy
during happy events, pride in having achieved a target or a sense of
disappointment when results fall short of expectations. There will also be
challenging moments. There will be times when victory will be elusive. Lack of
success does not mean that we give up. It only means that we have to work
harder, and that we have to persevere till our objective is achieved.

the movement would prove very useful throughout their lives, the Commissioner
said they would eventually be in a position to appreciate the need of the
