PAKAN: A total of 29 students from SK Nanga Kota near here were exposed to the importance of esprit de corps in every team activity.
They successfully completed the SK Nanga Kota 2023 Badge Scheme Camp, which lasted for three days and two nights.
According to the principal, Ambah Tandang, the main purpose of the camp organised by the SK Nanga Kota Scout Unit was to conduct proficiency badge exams in bronze and silver keris (traditional Malay dagger) for school scout members.
“However, beyond what is stated, we want to foster the spirit of unity – ‘together we stand, divided we fall’ – and the sense of ‘alma mater’ among the camp participants.
“Indeed, this spirit is natural in our daily lives and should not be lost.
“Therefore, after completing this camp, we hope that the 29 students and 13 teachers involved will continue to cooperate,” he said during the closing ceremony.
He explained that such camps also provide opportunities for participants to experience camping and engage in challenging and rugged activities.
Meanwhile, camp commander Mohd Azam Aiman Seman expressed his pride in seeing the spirit of the scout members successfully go through the camp.
“Congratulations also to all camp participants who passed the proficiency badge exams for bronze and silver keris,” he said.
He placed hope in the 26th Scout Unit of SK Nanga Kota to continue involving its members to ensure continuous learning can be carried out.
During the event, Azam handed over the duties of camp commander to Mohd Saiful Ashraff Mohd Shaharuddin.
