The Directorate General of Education in Al Dhahirah held a scouts and guides forum at the Knowledge Centre in Ibri's sports complex from 26 to 29 October 2026. It brought together 88 scouts and guides from schools in the governorate, according to the ministry's statement published on 29 October.
The programme combined workshops in leadership, teamwork, programming and artificial intelligence with topics related to mental health. It was organised by the Scouts, Guides and Student Activities Department.
According to the ministry, the forum aimed to develop students' leadership and technical skills through training and practice. The statement included no published measurement of skills before and after participation.
The report describes a training activity whose announced period has ended, rather than an invitation to register. The participant count also applies to this forum alone, not to all students benefiting from scouting activities in the governorate.
