“Growing up in the scouting family taught me the significance of learning to give back to my community and to those who supported me all the way to become a better person that I am today. I learnt a lot from scouting and I feel like it is my responsibility to help train other kids who will be leaders of tomorrow. Today I am a leader, speaker and better person because of scouts, it would be selfish of me if I kept this knowledge and skills that I obtained from scouting to myself. Hence I take the responsibility in making sure that I spread the knowledge around Limpopo Scouts to help build better leaders and grow our scouting family; for me scouting is part of my identity and it makes me very happy to see our sisterhood and brotherhood grow from scouts to rovers.” — Phindile 19yrs — Marula Rover Crew.

She passed Matric in 2009 and is studying Occupational Therapy – University of Cape Town and intends to return to Greater Tzaneen and form part of a multidisciplinary team with other returning scouts to support KTD196 and the children of this area who have needs which are outside of KTD196’s current capacities.
