INTRODUCTION:

It was in 1906 when Lord Stephenson Smith Baden Powell initiated the scouting

movement to foster and develop independence, discipline and love of nature to

young boy. Three years later, at the memorable crystal palace rally of the

Boyscouts in England , a group of uniformed , self-styled Girlscouts appealed to

Lord BP to form a similar movement for girls. Since then, scouting made a great

impact to young boys and girls alike. This very day, we are celebrating a

memorable moment in a boy or girls life: to be welcomed into the boyscout and

girlscout organization.

NADAL, HCEC Camp chief.

ii. THE SCOUT OATH

Scouts all over the world live by a code the scout oath. This scout oath

describes the three duties that every scout embrace the moment he/she

becomes a scout. We will now light the three candles that represent these

three duties. To do the honor, may we request Sctr. Dominico Bagacina,

Sctr. Dindo Ibarreta and Sctr. Helen Andalis.

His DUTY TO GOD (Sctr. Dindo Ibarreta lights the candle) We, who belong

to the scout movement believe in God. We may not all worship Him in the

same way, but we are one in out faith that He alone, reigns supreme, Our

Lord and Master.

His DUTY TO OTHER PEOPLE(Sctr. Helen Andalis lights the candle) Our

country, thePhilippines deserves our full love and dedication. The pages of

our history are brightened by the outstanding deeds of self-sacrifice and

love of our country of great men like Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar, Apolinario

MAbini, Andres Bonifacio and others. We do out duty to our country by

being noble citizens, by following the laws of the land, by preserving its

dignified traditions and culture and by actively taking part in nation

building.

His DUTY TO HIMSELF (Sctr. Dominico Bagacina lights the candle) It is

our responsibility to develop ourselves into productive young citizens. We

should strive to discover our potentials and share our talents to others.

iii. CLOTHING OF NECKERCHIEF

The scout uniform identifies you as a member of the scouting movement, a

worldwide brotherhood of scouts existing in more than 136 countries. It

also identifies you as persons of character, ready to serve others. It

symbolizes as well the ultimate unity of purpose and preparedness for

outdoor life, strongly reminding you to live in accordance with the scout

ideals. At this juncture, we call the parents to help us initiate our young

boys and girls to this noble cause through the ceremonial clothing of

neckerchief to the boys and pinning of investiture pins to the girls.
