"Building Again!"

by Jionel ''Blaze'' Carlos

Senior Scout, Outfit 435

Outfit 435 is an active BSP entity of Tacloban City Council. Located at Eastern Visayas State University. It aims to support the goals of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. 

Outfit 435 is manned by energetic and highly trained scouts, Sct. Marlon Lora and Sct. Bryan H. Gervacio, both instructors of EVSU-SLS. 

 The outfit had been spearheading scouting activities since its establishment in year 2004. It had trained boy scouts, senior scouts, and rover scouts. 

 Many years have come, The great senior crew leaders had graduated 4th year and say ''byebye'' to the outfit and gave his next responsible SCL the opportunity to handle and continue the aims and goals of the outfit. But dubiously, the performance of the scouts seems inappropriately like before. The scouts are not relevant to his/her rank and the scouts are spoiled. I, the writer is not saying that the SCL is not responsible enough, but honestly the scouts are lacking.

If we ourselves think, enjoy and understand the meaning of scouting, we can make a difference that we even in its hurtful sayings of the community, you will continue to respect the spirit of scouting and you will continue how imaginative your mind to suggests activities and things that you know what is scouting is all about. Remember a scout is ''brave''. 

Rebuilding cannot begin. Together, we can help clear the way, creating the possibility to bring back our Outfit called ''Pugad ng lawin'' meaning there were many highly trained scouts.

I may sound so optismistic, sound so hypocrite, or may even sound like a little voice in the wilderness, but soon, this voices echoed by these young men, and soon it will be heard. We will soon get the change we want. This may even appear as an Impossible Dream, but this is an Impossible Dream worth pursuing for.

Wanna bring back our outfit called ''pugad ng lawin''? That the community definitely will say that? So stand up! and be counted! Make your outfit, family and community proud.
