AlHijjah 12, 1433, Oct 28, 2012, SPA - Saudi Boy Scouts play an active role in helping pilgrims every year. It is estimated that over 4,500 of them are serving this year. Of them, 366 have been serving in the Health Ministry's facilities scattered in Makkah, Madinah, Arafat and Mina. “Despite their young age, Boy Scouts provided good ancillary services to the sick pilgrims visiting these facilities," the spokesman of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Khalid Marghalani, told Saudi Gazette. “These services include queuing up sick pilgrims at clinics, guiding them to the pharmacies and taking the lost ones to their camps. They do all that in very polite and professional manners," he added.
