Butuan Elem School conducts Joint School-based BSP/GSP Encampment
Scouting is one of the extracurricular activities where teachers and pupils in the Philippine Public Schools are actively engaged in. Hence, every year we conducted this kind of activity. A gathering that involves varied activities for the pupils to perform and develop their skills and abilities as well as the value of sportsmanship.
Hundreds of scouters of Bit-os Elementary School stormed the school grounds for the Joint School-based BSP & GSP Encampment last August 26, 2016 with the theme, ”Ang Batang Scouts ay Laging Handa.”
Started with the opening program where Dr. Jonas H. Jomonong, the school head gave his warm welcome to every scouter delegated from Twinkler, Kid, Kab Scouts, Star scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. The scouters joined, cheered, yelled and enjoyed during their different presentations at the opening. The talents and wits of the scouters were uncovered. Those quiet in class showed how active and talented they were during the games and hataw activity.
The Boy scouts exerted their enthusiasm and energies as they compete by troop on the different games and obstacle challenge conducted with their scout master Jonathan C. Ardecer, the BSP coordinator. While the Girl Scouts show off their skills as they competed the fire drill activity, cooking contest and parlor games facilitated by Mrs. Joy Carol A. Belarmino, the GSP coordinator. The scouters seemed tireless, the teachers equally energetic as they cheered and acted like mothers to their scout.
Scouters were having fun in engaging themselves with the eat-together boodle fight activity during the lunch. Displaying the skills of cooperation, collaboration and creative preparation among troops.
The activity ended with the awarding of prizes and certificates and clean-up drive activity. Satisfied and fulfilled, all scouters went home with their hearts filled with joy and pride. (Joy Carol A. Belarmino)
