NARRATIVE REPORT ON
SCOUTING ACTIVITIES OF SCHOOL
“The aim in Nature study is to develop a realization of God the Creator, and to
infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature.” -Baden Powell. This year, COVID-19 pandemic
struck the whole world that hindered field activities of scouting but nothing could stop
the essence of scouting. As we move on with the new normal set up, the school made a
way to cope up with the fast changing world through activities that promote safety and
security.
Tree planting activity had been one of the best ways to encourage participation
among the scouts and leaders. The school had planted for 20 fruit bearing trees and 20
non-fruit bearing trees. The school had given the community trees to plant in their
homes and encourage them to promote green environment.
In terms of the membership of the school, leaders had registered 90 % kid, kab,
boy scouts and 90% twinkler, star and girl scouts. The school encourage the parents of
the pupils to register in scouting for their own good so that they can participate in all of
the activities of scouting.
Aside from the these activities, the district had developed modules about
scouting that may be distributed to the schools of Paoay yet these modules weren’t
approved yet.

REFLECTION: VIRTUAL INSET

The Department of Education (DepEd) is conducting its second Virtual In-Service
Training (VINSET) this week, from March 15-19, 2021. Teachers are required to write reflection
essays for each day to serve as an additional proof of their attendance during the sessions. It is
also one of the means of verification or MOVs that they can include in their respective teaching
portfolios during evaluation season toward the end of school year 2021-2022.
The Filipino Scribe will be sharing in this post short passages that public school teachers
around the country can use as a reference in writing their respective reflection essays for this
week’s virtual INSET.
In-service trainings are reminders to us teachers that the process of learning never really
stops. Thus, it is important to attend these events with an open mind an open heart – an
acknowledgment that there are things we are yet to know about.
Given the shift to online learning, we have to step up our game and familiarize ourselves
with new education platforms using information and communication technologies. In that
manner, we are able to meet the challenge of performing our duties as teachers despite the
pandemic.
The threat of COVID-19 is still very much with us, and it is very dangerous to resume
face-to-face classes anytime soon. The national government is correct in making that decision.
However, the education of the Filipino youth cannot be paralyzed. “Education must go on,”
Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor Briones repeatedly stated. So in today’s
session, it has been laid out that DepEd is trying what can be described as an “all-hands-on-
deck” approach in making sure that lessons are delivered to students in every possible way.
Although the sessions were all informative, some topics are more relevant than others
given the different situation of teachers and students across the country. There has been
persistent technical glitches in accessing the agency’s website – a situation that undoubtedly
slowed down the ability of teachers to accomplish the so-called “exit quizzes” that are required
to download certificates. The glitches certainly added to the stress experienced by teachers
who, technically, are still on vacation.
