Scout Service & Public Relationship Week (Sri Lanka)
Scout Service & Public Relationship Week is held annually on June–July. Scouts will call on the public during this week in uniform. The event began with the participation of scouts from all 37 districts simultaneously numbering approximately 40,000 between the ages of 7 and 18. A Patrol consisting of four scouts or more in uniform will carry an official card given by Sri -Lanka Scout Association for public contributions. Scouts find money for their Scout Group through the Service & Relationship week each year. They go to houses and work places and help their owners with small work they can do. People give them work and then give some amount of money for their effort. The association requests the public to contribute to them generously as this is the main fund raising project for them.

“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Bath twice a day to be really clean, once a day to be passably clean, once a week to avoid being a public menace.”
