  1. I am Told Zakka John, in the 70s the Army and the Scouts are like brothers. Where a scout see a soldier that is where he will run to. They have similar training. The army are the sole trainer of scouts. That’s why scouts can be errand to the army. The army can send them. Bravo, once a scout always a scout. Ready for life. Greetings from plateau State.

THANKS FOR COMMENT, WE APPRECIATE
