The World Scout Parliamentary Union, Kenya, will host the first-ever general assembly in Africa in 2025.
WSPU is an independent association that unites scout-oriented parliamentarians from all over the world.
The organisation was founded in 1991.
It aims at strengthening the scout movement to promote youth empowerment.
WSPU's Kenyan delegation comprises of Korean Ambassador Mwende Mwinzi, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga and Senator Tabitha Mutinda.
First WSPU Kenya vice president Dorice Donya, Second vice president Ferdinand Wanyonyi, Yussuf Farah and representatives of the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and Arts, Rainforest Alliance and the National Police Service were also part of the Kenyan delegation.
Dagoreti South MP John Kiarie is also the first vice president of WSPU and president of WSPU Kenya.
The 10th WSPU general assembly is said to be underway in South Korea themed “Transform: with and for our society beyond the Covid-19 Pandemic.”
The conference has deliberated on a wide range of topics.
They include how WSPU plans to strengthen scouting as an educational programme, the role of parliamentary scouting associations in enacting legislation that will provide safe places for the scouting community and the role played by the scouting community in enhancing good governance in member countries.
Mutinda delivered a presentation of WSPU Kenya chapters that provided an insight into what awaits the delegates when the time comes for Kenya to host the 11th general assembly conference.
Kenya's tourist attractions, agricultural produce, diverse culture and the hospitability industry were also in her presentation.
“Lord Baden Powell the founder of the scouting movement, spent his last days in Kenya,” Mutinda said.
She said the delegates should attend the 11th general assembly in 2025 to experience the feel and touch of what their founder experienced in Kenya.
She said there were potential areas of collaboration between Kenya and Korea.
In Nyeri, the youth would be allowed to exploit and showcase talents, investment opportunities, exchange programmes for parliamentarians and youth and trade coffee and tea.
Kahiga urged the delegates to attend the convention and pay homage to Powell's final resting place and the Outspan Hotel built by Erick Sherbrooke Walker as an honorary to Lord Baden Powell in Nyeri.
