The current roles are focused on supporting coordination within the courtyards and corridors leading to the Prophet’s Mosque by directing the paths and controlling the flow of human crowds, which directly contributes to reducing congestion and achieving high smoothness in movement, especially with the large number of pilgrims and visitors that the Prophet’s Mosque witnesses during the holy month.
Integration of organizational roles
The humanitarian tasks of the camp participants are distributed across vital points including the courtyards of the Prophet’s Mosque, the surrounding health centers, and the Quba and Miqat mosques, where the scout units provide a range of quality services including pushing wheelchairs for the elderly, crowd management, and organizing visitors in medical facilities.
The scouts also supervise the entry and exit gates and escalators to ensure the safety of the flows, in addition to activating their roles in guiding the lost, taking care of lost children and helping pilgrims reach their destinations within the central area, which embodies a bright civilized image of the sons of the nation in the fields of voluntary and humanitarian service.
Promoting volunteer work
This field participation represents an extension of the essential role played by the Saudi Scouts in establishing a culture of volunteer work and instilling values of national belonging in the youth, as the camp provides a practical platform to enable young people to actively participate in serving the guests of God through qualified and trained personnel working in the spirit of one team.
The camp essentially aims to support the relevant government agencies in providing the highest quality services to visitors of the Prophet’s Mosque, and to stimulate youth energies towards continuous giving, in line with the Kingdom’s great efforts in caring for the Two Holy Mosques, developing the visitor’s spiritual experience, and providing a safe and reassuring atmosphere for all.
Combined efforts of sectors
The Ramadan camp in Madinah is witnessing a unique model of integrated efforts between the various educational, training and youth sectors in the Kingdom, as several government agencies participate in implementing the tasks, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Sports, Taibah University, the Islamic University in Madinah, in addition to the General Organization for Technical and Vocational Training.
This institutional cooperation reflects the high level of coordination to provide the best humanitarian and organizational services to pilgrims, which contributes to highlighting the bright image of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in serving those who visit the Prophet’s Mosque and providing them with all means of comfort throughout their stay in Madinah.
