PROTECT CULTURE AND IT'S HARITAGE
Our motivation stemmed from a shared sense of purpose and a desire to contribute to something greater than ourselves. The strong team spirit, friendship, beautiful surroundings, and knowledge that our efforts would make a positive difference in the community inspired us throughout the initiative. Every achievement was the result of collective dedication, cooperation, and commitment. The experience reminded us that through unity and teamwork, even small individual contributions can create a meaningful and lasting impact.
The seven-day camp brought together 50 participants, including Scout Leaders and volunteer Scouts, with the aim of contributing to the renovation of Sewla Dzong, engaging young people in meaningful activities, and exploring the spiritual sites across Punakha. Participants actively supported the renovation work by carrying bricks and stones from the parking area to the construction site, with each person contributing by carrying 25 stones per day. During the evening sessions, Scout Leaders facilitated various learning activities, including first aid, aerobics, and rope work, providing Scouts with opportunities to develop practical skills, physical fitness, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation of their cultural and spiritual heritage.
During the camp, Scouts learned valuable skills such as teamwork, jungle survival, and time management. Most importantly, they developed a deeper appreciation for Bhutanese culture and heritage, understanding the importance of preserving our traditions and values for future generations.
