On Tuesday of last week, 19 more students of the Academy joined the Pioneer Youth Association. Young Pioneers are 12 years and over and take a pledge of total abstinence from alcoholic drink. This may be until a particular age - typically 16 or 18, or it may be that they move on and take the full adult pledge at 16. Regardless of what age a Young pioneer takes the pledge of abstinence from alcoholic drink, in addition they take a promise to keep off drugs for life. As with all Pioneers they promise to wear the pioneer badge and to say the youth pioneer prayer daily.
There are a series of events organized for Young Pioneers which coordinator Mr Mc Cann facilitates. We congratulate these young pioneers and wish them every encouragement during their choice of abstinence. God Bless.
