Saturday, 24 February, the Zebbug Scout Group commenced its 100 years of scouting celebrations by planting an Olive tree (Olea europaea) in Mdina road next to the Kalkara tal-gir, situated in the same locality.

The tree was planted by the Group Scout Leader, Raymond Spiteri Binett in collaboration with the 34U campaign. Present for the event were the children and leaders of the Zebbug Scout Group.

The olive tree, from which the village of Zebbug derives its name, is also the world wide symbol depicting peace, which is also in line with the scouting ideals and the motto chosen by the WOSM (World Organisation of the Scout Movement) for the 100th year anniversary One World… One Promise.
