The establishment of the
Malta Heritage Scout Award
was announced by the
Chief Scout, Mr Vincent Cassar
in the presence of
Mr Martin Scicluna, President of Din l-Art Helwa
and other distinguished guests
during the Founder's Day reception held at Island Headquarters on the 1st February 2002.

When announcing the establishment of the Award to the distinguished audience present at the Founder's Day reception, the Chief Scout said that "as an Association we are conscious that one of the great challenges facing Malta today is the preservation of our rich cultural heritage - our historic sites and monuments which stretch back 7000 years in our history. The Scout Movement has always been one of the pioneer movements supporting Malta's heritage and today, I have the pleasure to announce that together with Din l-Art Helwa, we are on our way in establishing the Din l-Art Helwa Heritage Scout Award." He continued to explain that this initiative is being set up on the same lines as the Environmental Award scheme and will be open to all Groups, adding that it "should provide all of us with the great chance of helping in the preservation of our heritage for the benefit of the whole country and generations still to come".

Finally, the Chief Scout augured that "as members of the Scout Movement, all of us will do our best to encourage our young members to gain the Award and to be proud wearers of the badge so as to show, to one and all, that we do care about our heritage and that we are doing something about it. By doing this, we will be doing our duty towards our country which, after all, is what we have promised to do when we made our Scout Promise".
