"woww the closing ceremony was very cool, there were many interesting talent performances. From this activity I learned a lot, and got friends from various countries. Thank you to the entire KISC team for holding a very lively and extraordinary event. "
"The Closing Ceremony was a lot of fun. It wasn't just a mediocre closing ceremony, it was awesome. The performances of the Jota Joti participants around the world were also great. I was so excited to watch the performances of each and every participant from every country. They were awesome. From singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, vlogging, and everything else. The compilation of their performances was great. This is something we need to remember, appreciate, and preserve. Thank you to KISC for uniting us in the rope of togetherness, regardless of our differences, because what is certain is that scouting is one whole unit."
