Monday, 24 May 2010
The Scout Movement is a worldwide youth movement that have existed for a very long time.It was aimed in growing the physical,mental and spiritual of youths around the world.As this plays the main role in our everyday lifestyle.
The Scout Movement began in 1907 when a British Army Lieutenant General,Robert Baden-Powell held the first ever scout encampment.This was held at Brownsea Island in England. Baden-Powell wrote the principles of Scouting in Scouting for Boys in 1908 at London, based on his earlier military books with the support of Frederick Russell Burnham , Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. During the middle of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups which were known as Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout.
The Scout Movement practices many different program that teaches stuff you may not learn in school.This include practical outdoor activities which included camping,gadget-making,hiking,backpacking and other similar activities. One Characteristic that highlights someone as a Scout is their Uniform.It is as an identity which differ ones from other.A Scout Uniform differ from one country to another as the scout uniform is influenced by a country culture.In Brunei Darussalam,A Scout uniform would have a scarf,songkok,a long sleeve shirt,MIB pants,a black belt,black socks and black shoes.
In 2007,Scouting Member had reached over 38 million members in 216 countries.Which had first started in two patrols led by two patrol leaders supervised by Robert-Baden Powell on Brownsea Island in London grew to a movement which later grew to an organization know to worldwide till this day.This has shown to us,how effective or how beneficial is the scouting movement to our daily lifestyle as it teaches us to be more disciplined and organised.Not just thus it teaches us on how to survive in the forest but to our daily modern lifestyle.
Once every four year,A World Scout Jamboree would be held in different locations.
Jamboree is considered an Americanism which refers to a joyful,noisy gathering.This is usually held to strengthen bonds between scouts from all around the world thus,sharing experience of scout activities that have been done to their members that can be share to other people.Unlike other organization,Scouts is not just about doing hard work,being yelled at and tiring yourself.But it is something you do for fun as a living.As some scout says,scouts is the way of life. Over the pass few years,as it has become more modern.Jamborees On The Air and Jamborees On The Internet have been introduced.It is where a group of scouts all over the world would communicate scouts from all over the world through the Internet and through amateur devices that transmites radio waves that can be read by other scouts.
In our school,Maktab Sains PSBS.There is also a scout movement.Maktab Sains PSBS,Troop 1017 was the name given by the Headquarters Of Brunei Scouts.Each week during ccas,these ms scouts would be introduced to variety of activities and knowledge that can be used to their daily lifestyle.Recently,On Saturday Night.22nd May 2010,a number of Maktab Sains PSBS Scouts were invited to join a Night Hike which was held from Bukit Shahbandar to Rimba Secondary School.As i had joined it,it gaved me a whole new experience as we had always hike during daylight.This gave me an experience of how it felt like hiking in pitch black with aids of torchlight where light was necessary.
