A young policeman from Eve Leary who represented the Guyana Police Force at the 6th Inter-American Youth Forum and the 27th Scout Conference in Panama from November 21 to December 3, 2018, has been rewarded for being an excellent Ambassador, a release from the police said yesterday.

Twenty-year-old Cub Scout Leader, Constable 23956 Ronaldo Torres who was among 260 participants from a number of countries which participated in the forum and conference, said it was a life-changing experience for him to have left these shores for the first time and to interact with persons of diverse backgrounds, the release said.

The Cub Leader said that the programme was an educational one which will support the process of developing new youth participation in partnership with adults and young members.
