I deem it a great honour and privilege to be part of this youth forum. Being part of this youth forum,I have already acquired many knowledge.I am looking forward more to build my self-esteem ,intellectual power and improve decision making skill.

I wish this forum all the success and fulfillment towards the goal.Good luck and good wishes!”

“It’s an exclusive event emphasizing the youths of today for making a better tomorrow.

Creating self sufficient and self skilled young scouts with a motto of better world. Targeting a vision of 50 million scouts, the world’s largest coordinated youth contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) by 2030.”

Dilnawaz Sheikh Shuvayuga Crew “The name ‘Youth Forum’ previously used to denote the feeling of something like some youth gathering together and having some sharings only. But after joining the Virtual Youth Forum 2020 - Nepal Scout I realised that the forum is all about learnings, leadership, organizing, planning and a lot of intellectual talks with youths and guidelines by the adults as well. This forum is for sure going to be historical and all the best to all the participants and concerned authorities for having a very generative time ahead. Best regards and let's learn together and build a better world for living in a better way.

More power and success to all.”

Bikal Aryal Chitwan R/R Crew

From the guests and speakers I realized the capacity of a scout and in what ways we can be supportive and helping hand to self as well as community. I learned the means and ways I can be resilient and build more of confidence inside me. I am hoping to learn more in upcoming days and come to a strong conclusion to myself and scout at the end of this program.

Thank you everyone for such an amazing opportunity.”
