Victorias Hosts Diamond Jubilee Jamborette (Diamond Memoirs, The Official Publication of 75 Years Council Diamond Jubilee Jamborette)

It was a great honor for the City Government of Victorias to have hosted  this year’s Council Diamond Jubilee Jamborette with the theme, “75 Years Onward: Scouting Lives On!” last from Oct. 25-30.
    There were about 4,965 scouters from all over the province who registered and joined the Jamborette at the Victorias Gawahon Ecological Park, the perfect ground chosen for this year’s scouting event.
     Mayor Francis Frederick Palanca as the Boy Scouts of the Philippines Negros Occidental Council (BSP-NOC) Chairman gave his full support and was very proud that the City hosted the activity which not only showcased Gawahon’s biodiversity but also enabled the scouters to learn and strengthen many values towards becoming good citizens of the community.
    The City and Barangay Officials with the cooperation of the Department of Education and the different stakeholders involved, the event became a huge success.
    Prior to the event, the City made ample preparations to ensure the safety and convenience of the campers and the visitors such as the road concreting from Tison to Gawahon Eco-Park, installation of electricity and water systems and provision of improvised comfort rooms at the campsite.
    The Department of Education Victorias took charge of the various camp activities with their committee comprised of school administrators and teachers.
    Undoubtedly the Jamborette brought out the best in all scouters in all aspects, for the love of God, country and people who are in great need.
