Rekindling Memories of the BSP and

GSP Joint Encampment 2015

Igniting the spirit of leadership, volunteerism and camaraderie, the
Tubigon East District spearheaded by the Cawayanan National High School
conducted the synchronized Joint Encampment of BSP (Boy Scout of the
Philippines) and GSP (Girl Scout of the Philippines) Campers last September
11-12, 2015 with the themes Peace and Development Through Scouting
and Serve, Lead and Promote respectively. The focal points of the activity
were Torch Parade, Campfire and the Nature Trekking/Challenge Valley that
added the thrill in the activity.
The clouds of excitement covered the sky as the simultaneous activity
officially commenced late afternoon of September 11, 2015. It was started by
setting the ground rules to follow throughout the camping and simple dinner
preparation. Then, there was Torch Parade, Investiture Ceremony for new
members, Campfire and Film Showing.
The following day was the most nostalgic part of the camping as
everyone excitedly participated in the Challenge Valley. It was a very
tedious task, but we enjoined it so much. We truly feel the adventure, thrill
and excitement as we trekked the river and mountains, said one of the
campers.
Everyone got tired and exhausted in the two-day activity, but as Jose
Rizal put it to say as he wrote to Blumentritt, I am tired as a dog but I will
sleep as a god. Indeed, the activity was an awesome experience! It was
made successful by the unified efforts of the teachers, students, concerned
parents, and above all, the Divine Providence who safeguard the campers
and graced the activity with fine weather. Long Live Tubigon East District!
