Day 1: Foundations of Scouting

The camp began with an inaugural session followed by an informative talk on the history of scouting and guiding by Mr. Naveen from Excellent School. Students were introduced to discipline, values and scouting principles by the Scout Masters and Guide Captains.

The day continued with skill-based sessions, including knot-tying, hitches and lashings by Mrs. Devaki (HWB) and craftwork by Sir Sandeep. The students also learned the flag procedure, engaged in recreational games and practiced Baden Powell’s Six Exercises. The day ended with the flag-lowering ceremony and a student-led cultural program showcasing leadership and teamwork.

Students then attended a bandaging and first-aid session by Mrs. Devaki, an art and drawing workshop by Sir Sandeep, and training on First Aid, Flags, Estimation and Observation by the Scout Masters and Guide Captains.

The highlight of the day was an exciting hiking expedition during which students participated in a public service initiative—cleaning the local bus stand—to promote cleanliness and environmental awareness. The hike also included a visit to Gandhi Park and lessons on hiking signs and techniques.

The day concluded with recreational games, campfire preparations and a thrilling campfire night, filled with songs, stories and camaraderie.
