It has always been said that “Once a Scout, always a Scout”. This statement echoes the nooks and crannies of the Scouting World which now counts 169 national organizations and 38 million scouts (based on actual and active registration). Let’s do some math… if say this 38 million is currently listed scouts, how about those who are not listed due to whatever reasons? Would it be too assuming to say that there are billions of scouts out there? Maybe NOT. And as that saying goes, even those scouts are not listed, they are still scouts.  True enough, the Eagle Scouts Organization of the Philippines (ESOP) whose membership currently stands at about 20 chapters nationwide conducted its 1st Eagle Scout Encampment themed “Back to Brownsea” in Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo, Zambales from 20-23 October 2016. Yes, 2016 and that is exactly 1 year plus 2 months as of this writing.

 "... A scout who has earned the highest rank is one who, having thoroughly trained himself in Scoutcraft, places that training at the disposal of the community for public service..." BADEN-POWELL This is the Season of Giving. We know many Eagle Scouts would like to celebrate the month by meeting up and celebrating reunions. However, some really want to share their blessings while wearing their Scouting Neckerchief as their sign of gratitude to the Scouting movement. Here are some simple community services which you can use to start off your Christmas celebration. Feel free to modify or improve them in your own local chapters.

Spoke to the participants of the council meeting yesterday 1400H about the relevance of leading the scouts towards Eagle Scout Award or Advancement.  Philippine Independence Day: Commemorating its 117th Anniversary |
 | Yes it is the 117th Philippine Independence Day – do we really know and understand why the nation is commemorating it? Or we are just following the trend – so that we can make selfies with whatever related things or places put hashtags and post them in the social media. June 12, 2015 – Marks the nation’s 117th Independence Day. Dating back one hundred and seventeen years of celebrating; it all started in the caves of Pamitiran, Montalban, Rizal on 12 April of 1895 where Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, Restituto Javier, Guillermo Masangkay, Aurelio Tolentino, Faustino Manalak, Pedro Zabala and other revolutionaries initiated to have new members of Katipunan. To which, Bonifacio wrote Viva La Independencia Filipina on the walls of the cave – this is to express the goals of the secret society. Bonifacio then led the Cry of Pugad Lawin which signaled the beginning of the Philippine Revolution – and it was 1896. |
How did we ever earn the World Brotherhood badge if there are unsolved or even worsening problems in our very own units, groups and from various councils. How can we build brotherhood with others when we do not even have it in our own units, groups and councils? | In the years that passed after I started to serve in our organization, I have witnessed atrocious acts in the scouting community – from a far I have observed the make pretend that our organization is doing; making the youth believe that our organization is running good or even better; by all means of looking closer – we are pretending that we are unified, when after all there are exchange of rants and bashes that flies all over the internet. These events make me wonder, how did we ever earn the World Brotherhood badge if there are unsolved or even worsening problems in our very own units, groups and from various councils. How can we build brotherhood with others when we do not even have it in our own units, groups and councils? |
