Saudi Scouts and the "Let's Play Together" initiative in Qiddiya | Partnership details
In a strategic move aimed at enhancing quality of life and integrating meaningful entertainment with community service values, the Saudi Arabian Scouts Association announced its active participation in the "Let's Play Together" initiative launched by Qiddiya Investment Company. This initiative involves a series of scheduled visits to scout units across its various sectors, connecting the rich heritage of scouting with the future of entertainment in the Kingdom.
Geographic targeting and qualitative experiments
The initiative prioritized targeting scouting groups located within the geographical area surrounding the massive Qiddiya project, specifically scouting groups in Riyadh and the governorates of Al-Muzahmiya and Dhurma. This well-considered step aims to expand community programs, providing young people with the opportunity to experience the city's landmarks and facilities firsthand, and to make the most of the advanced recreational and educational resources it offers, thus strengthening the younger generation's connection to major national projects.
Qiddiya: The Destination of the Future and the Context of the Vision
This initiative cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader context of the Qiddiya project, a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030. Qiddiya is not merely an entertainment destination; it is the future capital of entertainment, sports, and the arts. The scouts' visit to this landmark connects volunteer work with the objectives of the Quality of Life Program, as the project aims to provide innovative experiences that contribute to diversifying the national economy and creating new opportunities for Saudi youth.
A long history of scouting contributions
The Saudi Arabian Scouts Association has a long and distinguished history of volunteer work and public service spanning decades, particularly during Hajj and Umrah seasons and in environmental service. Its participation today in the "Let's Play Together" initiative adds a new dimension to this history, moving beyond traditional roles to participate in the entertainment and community awareness sectors, reflecting the scouting movement's flexibility and ability to adapt to modern developmental changes in the Kingdom.
Strengthening institutional belonging and partnership
The Scouts' participation reflects the depth of their educational and social role; the initiative acts as a catalyst for promoting positive interaction and instilling a culture of volunteerism and national belonging in young people. This step also embodies a dynamic and advanced model of successful institutional partnerships between the non-profit sector (represented by the Scouts) and the investment sector (represented by Qiddiya), and activates the third sector's contribution to supporting and ensuring the success of major national projects and programs.
Community empowerment and sustainable impact
The "Let's Play Together" initiative falls under Qiddiya Investment Company's broader corporate social responsibility program, through which it seeks to empower diverse segments of society to experience and appreciate the scale of high-quality national projects. These engaging and educational recreational experiences are expected to leave a positive and lasting impact on participants, enhancing their sense of well-being and fostering a generation aware of their nation's potential and actively contributing to its future.
