develop and nurture Senior scouts the Scout Method should be applied in the
Program.

anchored with the Scout Oath and Law. That is not only for Fun but guided
by the 3 principles Duty to God, Duty to Others, and Duty to oneself.

classrooms. And for the Senior Scouts, Experience is one of the best teachers.
c. Personal Progression – Senior Scouting is not merely learning a new set of
ideas but rather taking themselves to a higher level of challenge to prove
themselves for continuous improvement.

work collaboratively, enhance their interaction skills and improve their value
of teamwork.

learn meaningful experiences.

camping with the environment, after using we can also return back the favor
by cleaning and changing the things that we used by tree planting.

to others so by letting them join in Clean-up Drives, Tree Planting, and
Coastal Clean-up the more they realize their roles in the community.
