Following on from the delivery of GSP Uniforms last March we were delighted to provide new Type B uniforms for Boy Scouts of the Philippines program activities. This included sets for KID Scout, KAB Scout, and Boy Scout. We also delivered uniform items for the adult leaders / teachers who oversee the delivery of the BSP and GSP program at Cancabalong ES.

Did you know?

In 1974–75, the Cub Scout name was Filipinized: The Filipino alphabet then did not include the letter C, so “Cub” was replaced with “Kab”. However, since “kab” was not a Filipino word, it was contrived as an acronym for “Kabataan Alay sa Bayan” written in uppercase.

In 1990–91, a KID Scouting program was created for pre-school boys. Since “kid” is English and not Filipino, it was contrived as an acronym for “Kabataang Iminumulat Diwa” and written in all caps.

“The scouting in the country continues to be school-based,” Corvera said, noting that teachers continue to serve as volunteers to help the BSP and the GSP carry on the task of bringing Scouting closer to the youth.

The measure, he said, is anchored on the state principle that recognizes the role of the youth in nation-building and for the promotion and protection of their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being.
