Such as the theme that is carried out “Work and Dedicate Towards Active Wholehearted Change”. The theme has the spirit that even in this Covid-19 pandemic situation, the younger generation should not just sit idly by, but can continue to work to develop their potential and also serve everyone. “Because in truth we are social creatures and fellow human beings must respect and help each other if someone needs help. All of this is done to lead to changes that are actively carried out by all of us based on a sincere and whole-hearted feeling,” he said.
Meanwhile, Advisor II of Racana Jelantik-Jempiring Undiksha Student Activity Unit, Made Juliani, S.ST., S.Kep.Ns., M.Pd. said that the age of SMEs that have entered adulthood needs to be supported by increasing the enthusiasm of members to carry out positive activities. “Like the theme of this activity. We must always be passionate about working and serving others,” she said. The same thing was conveyed by the Head of UKM, I Gede Agus Sudiantara.
The opening ceremony was also attended by Waka Kwarda Bali, Sister I Gusti Ayu Diah Yuniti. She read the remarks of the Chairman of Kwarda Bali, Brother I Made Rentin. She conveyed, this anniversary commemoration is a learning medium as well as training independence for scout members in carrying out real life. She also invited all members to always create harmony. “Let’s always maintain togetherness, harmony, and a sense of brotherhood so that harmony will later be realized,” she said.
She also conveyed, in connection with the era of globalization and modernization that is happening now that the development of information technology has resulted in the fading of regional culture. Apart from that, it also has the potential to trigger a fading spirit of nationalism, loss of national insight in the younger generation, and a decline in character. It is hoped that this will become the concern of scout members and can be an example for the younger generation to become a generation with character. “This needs to start with a real effort,” she added.
