Officer-In-Charge Office of the Acting Secretary General 16th National Scout Jamboree JAMBOREE BULLETIN NO. 1 Boy Scouts of the Philippines • National Office, Manila The coat of arms of the 16th National Scout Jamboree is created based on two (2) elements – the Scout in Motion and Tagum City. The Scout in Motion is the disambiguation of the goals of the Scout Movement, an organization that actively engages and supports the young people in their personal growth and development, endowing them to make positive contributions to their communities. Tagum City, the host of the Jamboree, stands as an icon of development, progress and unity – dynamic reforms in local governance as a brand for public administration. The colors characterize energy, nature and renewal. As the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) enter the first year of its second century in providing relevant and quality programs to the Filipino youth, it goes back to the rudimentary – energy and nature – the kernel of outdoor life and adventure, coupled with a strong sense of renewal fostered through the Scout in Motion. The new eon is welcomed with a sense of renewal – rekindling BSP’s commitment as an educator of the young, as a formator of values and as a leader of innovation. The logo carries the theme of the 100 Years Celebration of the Introduction of the Scouting Program in the Philippines, „Peace and Development through Scouting.” The theme predicates the Scout Movement as an instrument of peace - promoting human rights, democratic norms and values, creating an oath of love, trust, tolerance and brotherhood among its members. JAMBOREE THEME: “PEACE & DEVELOPMENT through SCOUTING” The concept of “Development through Scouting” – encapsulates the idea of bringing Scouting closer to the Community. Being recognized as preferred and leading educational youth movement, Scouting offers a relevant programme reaching broader segments of the society. The concept of “Development” encompasses the relationship of “people” living together harmoniously with “nature and environment”, thereby utilizing the clean sources of renewable energy towards a “progressive” and “peaceful” society where citizens are self-fulfilled and are actively taking part of collective action for growth. This year’s 16TH National Scout Jamboree theme revolves around the concept of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) Flagship Programme, the Messengers of Peace (MoP), Scouts of the World Award (SWA), World Scout Environment Programme (WSEP) Initiatives – creating a “Culture of Peace” through Scouting – with three (3) main program focus namely – Environment Education, Development Education and Peace Education. This theme is anchored on the 21st Century Leadership & Core Life Skills – with greater emphasis on Youth Participation, Youth Engagement, Youth Involvement and Youth Empowerment.
