 I am proud to have joined the Scout Movement since I was a cub in 1973, and with the encouragement of my father (Abdul Rahman), may God have mercy on him, even though he was illiterate, his conviction in the goals of the Scout Movement and its role in society was an important motivation for me at the beginning of my successful journey in Scouting, in addition to all my Scout leaders for their faith in me. The role of scouting in developing the capabilities and skills of young people and preparing them to serve their communities.

Motives for my candidacy and vision for membership in the World Scout Committee (2024-2027)

The main motivation for my candidacy for membership in the World Scout Committee is to have the opportunity to transfer my personal experience and the pioneering Emirati experience in this field. My aim is to enhance opportunities for success and excellence and investing in different energies and by investing in people, as well as the available capabilities and believing in participatory work. In addition to enhancing the experiences I gathered through my scouting background, in addition to the professional work and various partnerships that I achieved and gained during that journey, therefore, through my candidacy for membership in the World Scout Committee, I will work with my fellow members of the World Scout Committee to create a better future for our movements, which are based on youth. Because it is the largest youth movement in the world through innovation, leadership, and multiple sources of funding, and working to create a better world far from conflicts and crises, where tolerance, brotherhood, diversity, and integration prevail. My aim is to bring the experiences I gained through my work in the government and private sectors and volunteer work, and therefore I will work hard to achieve excellence, creativity, innovation, sustainable financing and a safe environment in all scouting programs by strengthening global partnerships to provide sustainable funding for the World Organization of the Scout Movement, and my focus will be on supporting initiatives that contribute to achieving sustainable development goals, creating a better future for youth and future generations, overcoming all forms of discrimination, and breaking all barriers that would hinder achieving the vision of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
