Birla Public School Scouts and Guides went on beach clean-up drive at Al Wakrah Beach recently. Fourteen teachers and 51 students participated in the drive to clean the beach.
The camp started with the Bharat Scout and Guide song, Oath and Laws. Vice-Principal George Edison addressed the students and talked about the importance of discipline. The students started the camp with guidelines of Scouts and Guides in charge Paramjeet Bhullar and Victor Anto. Principal AP Sharma visited the clean-up site which started at 9 am and ended at noon.
The students, wearing colourful caps, picked up trash comprising empty cans and bottles, and polythene bags scattered on the seashore and disposed it of properly. Within an hour, the students had filled their trash bags with some even carrying extra bags.
The activity aimed at creating awareness among the younger generation about the importance of keeping the environment clean, hygienic and free of pollution. It also hoped to develop civic sense, team spirit and sound character among the students.
