The Boy Scouts of the Philippines Southern Leyte Council conducted its Scouts Christmas Council Jamboree 2015 on December 3-6, 2015 at Camp Danao, City Forest Park, Maasin City, Southern Leyte.
Some scouts and scouters started fetching their tents and built their camps a day before the opening. Camp Danao is a 320-hectare forest reserve managed by the City Government of Maasin.
We, the organizers expected only around 1,200 participants but the actual number of registered entrants numbered 2,100 which far exceeded our expectations.
The opening ceremony was held on the 3rd of December at the 2-hectare grand arena. It was graced by Regional Scouts Director for the Visayas Bienvenido Toledo.
"Scouting makes you feel the challenges of the outdoor activities which could supplement the knowledge you learn from the classrooms," he said. "Joining scouts jamborees like these help you win more friends and learn useful skills."
As So. Leyte Council Chairman I inspired the scouts: "Scouting helps you develop as a total person. Experiencing difficulties and going back to the basics enable you to mature rhythmically."
The scouts were made to undergo basic life support and first aid training, obstacle and challenge course, knot tying, self-defense, and preservation of the environment.
Other activities highlighting the jamboree were subcamp and grand campfires, Scouts Got Talent, woodbadge reunion, and search for the Most Popular Boy Scout.
