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.

—Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)

“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
