A blessed day welcome to all Scouts and friends who's reading this article scattered all around the world. Early in the morning, September 15, 2013, The scouts from the Outfit 435 participated The 2nd I LOVE TACLOBAN FUN WALK.

This funwalk is not only a walk that like ''okay we're just walking''. This is a funwalk can help to save our nature, like the plastic bottles, these plastic bottles were the registration for the funwalk and if sold, the fund will be use to buy school supplies for the poor.

We're the only senior scouts who participated this event. We're greatly thankful for the weather, and the support of our brothers and sisters in the NSTP-CWTS EVSU.

Hope that we will participate again in the next simple activities of the Local Government of Tacloban.

"SEMAPHORE"

Semaphore (A-Z)

Semaphore Flags is the telegraphy system conveying information at a distance by means of visual signals with hand-held flags, rods, disks, paddles, or occasionally bare or gloved hands. Information is encoded by the position of the flags; it is read when the flag is in a fixed position. Semaphores were adopted and widely used (with hand-held flags replacing the mechanical arms of shutter semaphores) in the maritime world in the 19th century. It is still used during underway replenishment at sea and is acceptable for emergency communication in daylight or, using lighted wands instead of flags, at night.

The current flag semaphore system uses two short poles with square flags, which a signalman holds in different positions to signal letters of the alphabet and numbers. The signalman holds one pole in each hand, and extends each arm in one of eight possible directions. Except for in the rest position, the flags do not overlap. The flags are colored differently based on whether the signals are sent by sea or by land. At sea, the flags are colored red and yellow (the Oscar flag), while on land, they are white and blue (the Papa flag). Flags are not required; their purpose is to make the characters more obvious.

"HOPES AND DREAMS"

"Dreams Are Realities"

By: Jhed Villas

Each and every one of us has a dream to fulfill, some are willing to be a doctor while some are willing to be an engineer, but i'm very sure that there is some kids willing to become an Eagle Scout.

Scouting is now part of my life, and i am part of those kids who wants to be an Eagle Scout. To become an Eagle Scout there is only one word to motivate us and that word is "Believe", cause without believing your dreams will never come true.

Scouting was never been easy to me, but being part of something that you really love will make it more easier. I will do everything just to become an Eagle Scout, i will follow and obey the Scout Oath & Law, i will do righteous things to other people, and i will cherish my love for my Country and to God.
