Good morning Judges and everyone who is watching this video.

I would like to introduce myself.

I’m Grace Evelin Dominica from SD Pangudi Luhur 1 Surakarta. I’m in third grade.
I would like to tell you a story about Father of Indonesian Scout. Please enjoy.

Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX (HB IX) was the king of Yogyakarta Sultanate who
had the scout spirit that he awarded with the title Father of Indonesian Scout. Sri Sultan
Hamengkubuwono IX was born on Saturday, April 12, 1912 with the name Raden Mas
Dorodjatun. He was born in Sompilan Ngasem Yogyakarta. Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX is
the son of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwona VIII and Kanjeng Raden Ayu Adipati Anom
Hamengkunegara.
History of the Indonesian Scout Movement started
since the Padvenderij step in to Indonesia through the Dutch colonization.
The movement was developed rapidly in line with the emergence of nationalism
among Bumi Putera.
Kak Sultan took a very important role in developing the Scout Movement. He got the
mandate as chairman of the National Headquarter of Scout Movement for 4 periods. One of
his ideas was Renewing of Scouting which then adopted by the scout movement around the
world.
“Pramuka is not simply a means for playing, but also a place to obtain skills, agility,
physical strength including character building for Indonesian young generation,” Kak Sultan
said.
The concept of Renewing of Scouting means that the participation of scouts in
building the nation is essential for the sustainability of scouting as a world organization. Kak
Sultan explained that we still adhere to the moral principles of scouting, but we must renew
the way of scouting activities that are in accordance with the aspirations of our young
generation, including the needs of society.
Hence, Scout is an important part for Indonesia as a nation. We are the young
generation; we are sustainably making improvement and breakthrough that are beneficial
to the society.
We are scouts, we are special.
I think that’s all about my story. Thank you for watching.
We are scouts, we are special. Good bye.
