Happy B.-P. Day 2008!
Friday, February 22, 2008
Today is B.-P. day, 22nd of February...
It reminds of what kind of life we had gone through during the high school period besides studying...: scouting life, which includes camping, marching, pioneering, handicrafts, sports, performing, dancing, singing, campfire, playing, truanting, loitering, sleeping, pretending, acting, ignoring, fighting and etc...
Not forgetting the patrol corner and patrol system, these two terms might be new to those in school, but i can still remember it very well...
It's been nice to read something refreshing, at least can improve my English language proficiency as well.
Kindly follow the link below to download the pdf file regarding what B.-P spoke on 31st July 1922 for the World Organization of the Scout Movement’s inaugural conference.
Education in Love in Place of Fear
We can figure out exactly how the Scouting Movement was found 101 years ago (in 1907), reading on our own rather than listening or believing those "myths or legends" told by our ancestor seniors (...and I was one of them...;p).
Nowadays most of the scouting activities had already "evolved" and lost their essential Scouting values or spirits. So i doubt that "Scouting Spirit Forever" which we used to yell N years ago...
Oh ya, i will be wearing our 39th Kinta troop singlet on this day also, this is what Boon Tiong suggested me years ago, but don't know whether he is still doing it or not...
Please do not invite me to any of the troop activities as you know i am not able to make it, thank you for the invitation (through SMS) anyway. I totally have no idea who are the boys or seniors now... Haha! Thanks for remembering me.
Suggestion on celebrating this day, may be you all can seek advices from Scoutmaster asking the school to allow all the scouts to wear scout uniform instead of school uniform during school hours on 22/2 every year. That would be much more meaningful, as we could saw some scouts and guides wearing uniform on this days N years ago.
Dedication. Loyalty. Merit.
To all my friends, wish you best of heath, wealth, wisdom, luck and happiness all year round! Happy belated CNY!
Take care and stay in touch.
