STA MARIA, Bulacan — About 3,000 cub scouts from the different schools in Region 3 will be coming together at the sprawling national agricultural school in this town from Thursday until Sunday (October 25-28) for the 5th Central Luzon Regional Kab-o-ree.
With the theme “Scouting: Commitment to Excellence,” the activity is organized by the Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) Bulacan Council in partnership with the provincial government of Bulacan headed by Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado.
The four-day event for cub scouts will include activities such as Scout Skills in which they will learn knot-tying, scout law relay and bandaging; Conquer Halili; Outdoor Exploration; Uncovering Nature; Team Building; and Scout Advancement.
These activities aim to highlight cub scouting as a vital education program that helps institutions in molding the character of the cubs and to provide more meaningful and relevant cub scouts activities geared toward environment through the Better World Framework.
Gov. Alvarado said he is happy that the venue of this annual event, the Fortunato F. Halili National Agricultural School in Barangay Guyong, here, is ready to be the home of cub scouts.
Other activities lined up by the BSP are the Camp Chief’s Night where there will be film showing, That’s My Kab Scout and the Grand Camp Fire where competitions for the best yell and song will be held.
Bulacan will be filled with entertainment and cultural show on the first night and will cap off the event with fireworks display on the last night.
