Nagor Scouts Hiking

What inspired you to take up the project?

To explore more with nature and connect with nature. Hiking in nature as recreational activity and self care program to enhance both physical and mental health and wellbeing. To learn more on hiking trials, trail signs, survival skills, and importance of conservation of environment that we enjoy breathing clean air.

What are the learnings you got from implementing this project and how would you make it better?

Learned adventure skills such as trails sign and directions, team work, new survival skills, bird watching, wild edible plants, and first aid. Hike would be better if we camp for a night with camp fire and singing yells.

Where was your project implemented and how did you execute it?

All the Nazhoen and Nachung scouts went for hiking on Saturday. Advance team prepared the hiking trails and trails sign for hiking routes and set up the treasure hunt game a day before the hike. Scouts were divided into 6 different group leaded by troop leaders and focal teacher. During hike we meditated for few minutes, and learned survival skills along our hiking routes. After reaching our destination we break for our lunch and then sang some yells and end with photo session.

What was the project impact?

Almost more than 300 scouts including Nazhoen scouts, Nachung scouts and focal teacher were benefited. Through hiking we learned new skills and knowledge of survival skills, developed basic understanding on conservation of our pristine environment, learned trail signs and cues and required team work & spirit for playing treasure hunt game. Hiking promotes the physical & mental health and spiritual wellbeing of our scouts.
