Who is David Lai?
David Lai is a Board Member of the Scouts of China (Taiwan). David's leadership in decision-making stems from the 9th APR Youth Forum 2018. Since then, David has accumulated extensive experience in governance, from the National Board to the World Scout Conference, and from Congress to APEC. With a passion and vision for fostering youth leadership, he aims to utilize his strength and expertise to contribute to Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region.
On my first camping, I was inspired by the value of Scouting when sitting around the campfire listening to BP stories. Years later, I become the storyteller inspiring others...
