Exploring Heritage Through Scouting
The activity was organised with the aim of developing leadership, teamwork, physical endurance, and environmental responsibility among Scouts while providing an opportunity to explore Bhutan's rich cultural heritage through an adventurous hiking experience.
The programme was conducted on 10th October 2026, involving 55 Class IX Scouts and 12 Scout Masters. The participants travelled by bus from the school to Thinleygang, where they visited a historical site before beginning their hike through Toep Chandana to Sewdrangsa. During the journey, team-building activities, competitions, and a cleaning campaign were organised to encourage active participation, cooperation, and environmental awareness. All participants returned safely to school.
The programme provided valuable learning experiences in leadership, teamwork, discipline, time management, and environmental responsibility. It also helped participants develop a deeper appreciation for Bhutan's cultural heritage and the importance of collective effort. Future programmes could be further improved through better activity coordination, detailed planning, and additional interactive learning opportunities.
