A Scoutful Farewell to 2026 - ⚜️

I volunteered as part of the organizing team for the Scout Closing Ceremony 2026, held on 31st October 2026 at Gomtu Higher Secondary School. Along with other Scout Leaders and Scout Focal Teachers, I helped coordinate and conduct the programme. The event brought together 62 participants and 20 Scout Leaders, making a total of 82 attendees. Unlike usual short closing ceremonies, we organized a one-day boot camp featuring discipline drills, troop meetings, troop yells and four activity bases: Arts and Crafts, Adventure, Ropework and First Aid. Participants learned about the Bhutan Scouts Association logo, created outfits using waste materials, experienced rappelling and monkey climbing, practised knots and learned basic first aid. The morning was dedicated to these activities, while the afternoon was given for preparing fancy parade outfits and cultural performances. In the evening, the Chief Guest arrived, followed by the cake-cutting ceremony and campfire lighting. The celebration continued with a fancy parade fashion walk and cultural dances. Finally, badges were distributed to the participants, marking the end of the programme. Overall, the event promoted teamwork, confidence, creativity and practical Scouting skills while giving us valuable experience in leadership and coordination.⚜️
