PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The Bandung City Scout Movement Branch Conference was officially held at the Bandung City Scout Movement Branch Office (Kwarcab) Hall, Sunday (20/4/2025).

This activity was attended by the Mayor of Bandung, Muhammad Farhan, who also serves as the Chair of the Advisory Council of the Bandung City Kwarcab and the Deputy Mayor of Bandung, Erwin.

Farhan said that the Branch Conference (Muscab) is a momentum for improvement and revival of the Scout Movement in the City of Bandung.

"The 2025 Bandung City Scout Movement Branch Conference is something that has been delayed for so long. In order to move on, we must look forward and no longer look back," Farhan emphasized.

However, Farhan also touched on a major issue that is still looming over the Bandung City Kwarcab, namely the alleged misappropriation of 2022 grant funds which is currently still under investigation at the West Java High Prosecutor's Office.

"For that reason, whoever is later elected as the Head of the Bandung City Kwarcab must pay attention to these problems and resolve them thoroughly," he said.

Farhan emphasized that this legal problem must be resolved immediately so that it does not become an ongoing burden.

"I believe that this meeting will produce decisions that can strengthen the Scout Movement in Bandung City," he said.

He also expressed his appreciation to the Scout members who have shown dedication and integrity so far.

"I believe, all of you have high integrity as members of the Scout Movement in Bandung City. Let us uphold the noble values: honesty, discipline, responsibility, and love for the homeland," Farhan invited.

Farhan hopes that in the future the management of the Scout organization in Bandung City will be carried out maturely and responsibly. He also reminded the importance of maintaining the principles of unity and deliberation.

“Let us focus forward. Never look back. Line up, stand united, divided, fall. The principle of deliberation for consensus must be maintained as well as possible and practiced with full maturity. We have a great responsibility towards the Scout Movement in Bandung City,” said Farhan.

He hopes that the 14 August Scout Day Commemoration will not be just a ceremony. He invited to make the momentum as the peak of a series designed through a mature program by the new management later.

Finally, Farhan appreciated all parties who had given great attention to the Bandung City Kwarcab, including the West Java Kwarda.

"I hope this morning's meeting will run smoothly, bear good fruit, bring benefits and advantages. Not only for each of us, but also for the Scout Movement nationally and the city of Bandung in particular," he said. (Bandung City Communication and Information Office)
