Chay chay boot camp
The project was inspired by the desire to promote peacebuilding, increase knowledge and awareness among young people, and encourage them to work towards a better future. It was an opportunity to guide young children from an early age, help them develop positive values, and build a strong foundation for their personal growth and development.
Through implementing this project, I learned that primary school children, especially those in the early grades, require careful guidance, patience, and proper attention. I also realised the importance of grooming children from a young age to develop good discipline, confidence, leadership, and positive attitudes. In the future, I would improve the programme by providing more engaging activities and ensuring that every child receives proper guidance and encouragement.
The project was implemented in Thimphu Thromde as the first-ever Chay Chay (Pre-Primary to Class III) Scout Boot Camp, bringing together approximately 250 students from pre-primary schools across Thimphu. The programme commenced with traditional cultural practices, including the Marchang ceremony, followed by the Scout Anthem. Throughout the programme, students participated in various scouting activities designed to introduce them to the values of scouting, teamwork, discipline, and community spirit.
