Scouting: a bridge to self development
Do a good turn daily, the indulging motto of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP). Meaning, we should do things at its fullest at this time not later or tomorrow. Having this in my mind, I together with my friends joined the Rover’s Vigil at Cavite National Science High School (CNSHS). Together with the theme “Rover Scouts: Creating Peace and Development” we became more delightful to join the said activity. Lots of things spread throughout our minds before the program started; that it will be a night full of thrill and excitement.
There had been lots of activities. But at first, we had the lecture. The lecture was headed by lots of scout masters one was Scouter Ronaldo Mendoza, a former teacher in CNSHS. Some of the topics were about the characteristics of a scout, scout oath, scout law and the symbols that signify the patches. The lecture lasts for about 7 hours. 7 hours without sleep, just listening and understanding.
After the very long lecture, at last! Activities! In our first activity we need to blind fold ourselves using a scarf. We are then guided by group and were brought to different parts of the schools one by one. After I removed my blindfold with the signal I was surprised because I was in front of the speech lab! One of the spookiest areas of the school. But then I saw a company nearby then I went there. We then filled up the paper given to us in which we need to write our good and bad traits.
After it, we burned the paper with our bad traits and kept the paper with our good traits. It was then followed by a spiritual message that helps us realize the importance of our parents. After it we are honored as Rover Scouts. It was very happy because at last we were honored to wear our rover uniforms.
Once a scout, always a scout a quote in which we carry after the event. In which we seeded in our minds forever.
