Senior Boy Scouts on their camping
News article by: Ivan Amoroto
Senior Boy Scouts had their camping at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 7, 2023. The event took place at Yverdon de Pestallozi School, Inc.
The scouters believe that camping teaches the scouts teamwork, responsibility, independence, and skills.
Their first activity was to build their tent at 3 p.m. Following that, they had their flag ceremony rehearsal (which differs slightly from the normal flag ceremony in which students participate every Monday) and lecture, which was led by Sctr. Kristian Pastrana, BTC, OA and Sctr. Antonio R. Quinto Jr., BTC, OA

Thereafter, they were given time to prepare their yell-making, song-making, and skit-making by 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. to be performed after the bonfire ceremony.
From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The boy scouts prepared and ate dinner.
Then, they started to ignite the bonfire together with the Junior Boys Scouts at 9 p.m. As the scouts were at the bonfire, the teachers acted and performed a rite.
Afterward, they had their crew competition. Crew Bonifacio, Crew Lapu-Lapu, and Crew Rizal competed in their yells, songs, and skits.
After the performance, a spiritual activity was led by Pastor Moises Gamata in room 101. Inside, they shared Bible verses and messages from God. Then they were tasked with doing a skit about a son who chose liquor over his ill father’s instructions.
The scouts then prepared for pre-sleep at 11 p.m. And at 12 midnight, they slept. The Senior Boy Scout’s call time was supposedly at 6 a.m. but they woke at 4:30 a.m. because of drizzle. Some scouts got wet inside their tent. They left their tent at 5 in the morning.
The flag ceremony was led by the scouts after a 15 minute morning zumba at 6 a.m.
Following that, they started to make their breakfast at 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and have eaten before 9 a.m.
Later, before 11 a.m., they engaged in different activities. Starting with the human obstacle course. The second was the 'London Bridge is Falling Down' game on the first floor. The third was the 'Caterpillar' game on the second floor. The fourth was the 'hawak-kamay' game on the third floor. After that, they started putting up their tent, had their awarding ceremony, and were dismissed at 11:45 a.m.

The scouts really did enjoy the experience. “About sa teamwork namin, mas nadevelop namin ‘yung pagkakaisa namin and ‘yung mga pagsubok at mga activities, nagampanán namin as a team.” said by Arthemis Serrano, a senior boy scout, in a call interview.
