The mandate of the International Committee of the National Capital Area Council is to help local Scouts learn more about Scouting overseas, and to help Scouts from abroad learn more about the BSA. Every year the International Committee works with the diplomatic community in our nation’s capital to fulfil this mandate through an International Scouting Day at a local embassy. This year the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will host an International Scouting Day on Saturday, October 15th. Troops and Crews from across the Council will welcome to send a contingent to learn more about the Saudi people, their culture and Scouting on the Arabian peninsula.
