Patrol Leader's Camp Permit Course

It's all about Learning, the Skills and the heart of a girl scout!!

The senior girl scouts of Cebu Council were personally trained by our very own Technical Assistant, Miss Jo Ann Jayme about the basic and general knowledge of girl scouting. The Links of unity, the GSP Principles and Laws, the Patrol System and most of all, about our dear founder, Josefa Llanes Escoda.


Tita Leah Apao, Council Executive even had a session about camp budget and the preparation in camp. We also had an evaluation on how to do the correct outdoor colors which was for the good of all scouts.

The topics were really interesting and informative to the extent that the speakers involve fun ways in learning everything from A-Z!!

Senior scouts were given the privilege to present their talents and show the essence of each challenge in the Eight Point Challenge. The scouts were very cooperative in all the games and discussions. They even tried to make their own patrol yells and cheers and presented it to their fellow girl scouts.

Like any other girl scouting encounter we also had a Friendship Night where we all played games of introducing ourselves and had fun singing songs. It was a genuine feeling having to share our smiles and laughter with our new found friends.

As girls and young ladies we are always given the awareness to take care of ourselves and especially our health. We should then be physicall fit and so we had our Calisthenics early in the morning to warm up and start the day right!

Who could ever miss a campfire ceremony?! Not us! We had our campfire ceremony outside the multipurpose hall and each participating school showed what girl scouts have, that is the confidence and the talent!

Learning is a very important thing in life. Our daily activities still needs safety preacautions and as our motto claims that we are always prepared, the girl scouts also had their First Aid Session with a professional Resource Person.

More activities came in the following days as we also experience the Scout's Own early sunday morning with the theme Love, Friendship and Service.

The Cebu Council Staff consisting of Cadet girl scouts who are also a part of the Council SPB accomplished their work in fascilitating and guiding their fellow scouts to lead and learn how to follow instructions. It was also a learning experience for them on how to handle situations and be a good example to the younger ones.

A closing ceremony formally ended the training both happy and sad. With heart full of gratitude for the great blessing of being a part of the Cebu Council girl scout family. We ended the camp but for sure the friendship, learning and the new found skills will never fade away. The camp deepened our knowledge and our interest in making good not just in camp but also in our daily activities of life.
