“Commitment and service to humanity should be the main goal of the eagle scouts after the NOC-Advancement Camporee”, TTM, Danilo L. Vallejera, LT, Camp Consultant said during an interview on Saturday morning, April 1, at Camp Himaya.

According to Carl Jule V. Gico, LT, DRPC, Rover Section of Western Visayas Region, who represented the Regional Scout Director, Michael A. Indoma, LT, Western Visayas Region, around 3,500 scouts who participated in this camporee are set to finish the eight training modules and graduate tomorrow. With the different activities and challenges prepared, scouts are expected to be prepared, environment-friendly, disciplined, committed and ready to serve at all times.

Meanwhile, Vallejera, thanked the City Mayor Rogelio Raymund I. Tongson Jr. for the support and the opportunity to held this first ever NOC-Advancement Camporee.

“We envisioned in the future, that this site will hold a regional camping activities since the area can accommodate a large population of scouters,” Vallejera added hopefully.

“As Kab Scouts, do a good turn every day, share happiness to those who are sad. May it be young or old, we must know how to make them happy,” Analyn Dela Cruz, CML, emphasized to the scouts during the Kawan expedition, Friday afternoon, March 31 at Camp Himaya.

Kawans explored the five stations during the expedition starting with Station 1 where the scouts performed a Tiktok dance to the Fairy, followed by the Station 2 where they showcased their talents in singing the Alphabet song and counting of numbers to the Witches. In Station 3, the scouts sang to make the Giant sleep; in Station 4, the Dog asked them to search for the things to offer to the King; and lastly, in Station 5, scouts did things to make the Queen happy.

“I enjoyed because we have to follow a trail. I learned that if you have adventure, you have friends too. And the adventure was exciting and we meet a lot of things,” John Immanuel G. Miguel, Kab Scout from Himamaylan Central School, said after he triumphantly finished the expedition.

The activity reminded and challenged the Scouts to perform goodness daily—be it at school, at home, in the community, or anywhere else.
