Assam Don Bosco University campus at Tapesia, on the outskirts of Guwahati city is hosting the 14th National Boscoree from 29th December 2022 to 3rd January 2023.
The six day program designed under the theme “Save Our Planet Home” provided an opportunity to the young scouts and guides to experience and learn various activities of adventure, skills and discipline with sessions based on the theme to spread the message and translate the thematic activities into action, making and sustaining a green and clean environment.
Boscoree is a quadrennial mammoth gathering of Scouts and Guides from Salesian Institutions from all over India with Don Bosco, the patron saint and Baden Powell, the founder of Scout Movement, as mentor and inspirational icons. It was conceived with an idea to bring all Don Bosco Scouts and Guides troops together to experience adventure, service and to celebrate unity in diversity with one goal in mind – to be the agent of better India and the world.The activities for the nearly 100 troops are held in 10 Sub-camps ensuring participation of all the campers.
The 1st National Boscoree was held in 1974 at Doddaballapur, Karnataka, while the last one, the 13th National Boscoree, was held in 2018 at Nashik, Maharashtra.
As the Salesian Province of Guwahati is commemorating the Centenary of the Arrival of the first Salesian Missionary (1922-2022) in North East India, the 14th National Boscoree 2022-23 is a part of the Centenary Celebration hosted by the Salesian Province of Guwahati.
