Lieutenant General His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, National Security Advisor and Royal Guard Commander, visited the ‘Gadeha Junior’ training camp for young people held at Exhibition World Bahrain, where His Highness observed the training programmes and field exercises offered by the camp.

His Highness toured a number of the camp’s training grounds and observed some of the challenges faced by the young participants, noting the physical effort, concentration, quick reflexes and decision-making skills required.

His Highness affirmed that “Gadeha Junior” provides a practical experience that gives young people the space to discover their abilities and test their potential through various situations and challenges. His Highness noted that character building begins by giving young people the confidence and opportunity to experiment, face challenges and learn.

His Highness explained that one of the camp’s objectives is for children to learn from a young age that challenges are not to be feared but to be faced, and that self-confidence is built through trying, experimenting and overcoming difficulties. His Highness emphasised that “Gadeha Junior” is not about seeing who finishes first, but rather aims for every participant to discover potential within themselves, and to realise that stumbling in one attempt is not the end of the road, but rather a motivation to return stronger.

His Highness praised the efforts of the camp organisers and all those who supported its organisation, stressing the importance of developing high-quality initiatives that transform young people’s energies into achievements, challenges into experiences, and ambition into preparedness for the future.
