Facebook: Bangladesh Bank Colony Scout Group, Chittagong, Bangladesh
From 2001 to 2005, I was a Cub Scout in the Bangladesh Bank Colony Scout Group, Agrabad, Chattogram. I continued my journey with the World Scout Movement further by engaging me in the Scout section (2006–2010), and then from 2010 to 2022, I was a Rover Scout. I participated in many national and international Cub Camporees, Scout Jamborees, and many scouting-related and other training courses and workshops. I volunteered in many cultural, institutional, and national programs and disaster relief programs.
