Pattaya celebrates National Scouts Day.

The 1st July is National Scouts Day here in Thailand. Scouting was first introduced in Thailand on July 1st 1911 by King Rama VI. Thailand was the third country in the world to take up Scouting. King Rama VI is fondly remembered as the "Father of Thai Scouting" and every year on Scout Day, on July 1st, Scouts pay homage to his image and take part in parades. Thailand is the only country in the world where Scouting was directly founded by a monarch. It is also honored with being one of the Founder Members of the World Organization back in 1922. Celebrations of National Scouting Day here in Pattaya were led by Khun Itipon, the Mayor of Pattaya in the grounds of Pattaya School Number 7. 1,000 Scouts and 100 Scout Leaders took part in the parade which paid homage to King Rama VI.
