Sarita Rego


BORIVLI, NOVEMBER 11, 2009: A three day Scout Camp for students of Std VIII to X was organized at Don Bosco, Borivli from November 6- 8, 2009. Scouts have an important role to play in the development and inculcating discipline and values in young students. Mr. G. I Engineer, an A.D.C and a recipient of Court of Honour was the Instructor for this Camp.

The Camp began at 10 am with the unfolding of the flag and the reciting of the prayer for scouts. Mr. Engineer conducted tests, exercises for the scouts, shoe formation, preparing group songs and thereby encouraged the boys to participate in the various activities in the camp. Mr. Engineer also shared his experiences of Gujarat and the functioning of Scouts there.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the camp and learnt gainful insights from the camp .Students of STD VIII had to get a recommendation and reference from their teachers in order to enable them to join the Scouts and this had them requesting teachers for their signatures and reference.

The camp would not have been possible without the efforts, cooperation and commitment of Fr. George Carlos, Sir Nelson, Sir Mark, Sir Rossi and Sir Engineer.
