“To give Scouting a
reasonable prospect of
success, we must realize
what we hope to
achieve, and then make
the most of our
opportunities.”

 The Best Alternative
The solution to all of the problems of
Philippine society today lies not in the
treatment of symptoms but treatment of
the root problem; it is undertaking a
surgical operation in order to cut off the
tumor that is causing this social cancer. The
solution lies in cutting off the influence of
an uncaring society in the hearts and minds
of the young by giving them a healthy
alternative....SCOUTING.

It Depends…
The effective implementation of the Youth
Program, however, as well as the
achievement of the Vision Statement of the
Boy Scouts of the Philippines as to have a
strong impact in society depends largely on
the COMMITMENT, DEDICATION, and
expertise of the unit leaders through
TRAINING.
There is a need for you to continually seek
self-improvement.

This is a set of questions to be answered which will

ensure that certain concepts are clear to them. The
questions also encourage the candidates to conduct
some research either through the reading of reference
materials or through exchange of ideas with other
Scouters.

The questions are distributed during the latter part of

the Advanced Training Course where they will be given
instructions that, after at least 3 months, the Local
Council will send to their district a team of Trainers who
will interview them on such questions to ensure that
they have a firm grasp of the program and the section
they are serving. YASSER F. SARONA

 COMMITMENT SONG
I’ll give my hand, to those who cannot see
The sunrise or the falling rain.

I’ll sing my song to cheer the weary along,

For I may never pass this way again.

I’ll share my faith with every troubled heart

For I shall not have lived in vain.

I’ll give my hand, I’ll sing my song,

I’ll share my faith because I know-

That the time has come to fulfill each vow

For I may never pass this way again.
