    BAYAWAN, NEGROS ORIENTAL - The 3rd One Visayas Boy Scouts Jamboree opened here last
    Tuesday with the local government of Bayawan City and the Negros Oriental BSP Council playing host to
    more than 4,000 Boy Scouts and adult leaders at the city's odorless sanitary landfill at Sitio Maninihon,
    Barangay Omod. The venue is a sprawling man-made forest area which also serves as the ecological
    center of this city.

    The gathering was participated in by delegates from Eastern Visayas Scouting Region such as
    Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Biliran, Tacloban, Northern Samar and host Negros Oriental-Siquijor.
    The Western Visayas Scouting Region contingents comprise of Negros Occidental, Bacolod, Iloilo,
    Guimaras, Aklan, Antique and Capiz.

    According to Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) Negros Oriental-Siquijor Council Acting
    Administrator and Council Treasurer George Villamor, Bayawan City has allocated P2 million for the
    improvement of the venue’s structures, in a report by Philippine Information Agency.

    The theme of the jamboree is “Growth and Stability” and it is open for Boy Scouts aged 11 to 18
    years old, should be in good health, and must be equipped with camping gears.

    The jamboree did provide the Boy Scouts outdoor life experience and foster cooperation,
    friendship, and camaraderie with fellow Scouts. Onsite modules are set for the campers which include
    obstacle journey, extreme challenge, rappelling, global development village, sanitary landfill/solid waste
    management, water survival and rescue, sports on Pencak Silat and Arnis, among others.
    The night activities include a Talents Unlimited Youth Jam Concert held on Thursday, the Grand
    Camp Fire which is scheduled Friday evening, and the Closing Ceremony which is on Saturday. The
    contingents will leave the camp on Sunday.

    In the obstacle journey and extreme challenge, the Boy Scouts were able to crawl on the mud,
    traversed the monkey bridge, and rapel on the ropes. It was the most challenging activity which
    measures the physical determination and mental perseverance of the participants. After the Boy Scouts
    have undergone the module they were covered all over with mud.
    The opening ceremony on Tuesday was graced by Bayawan City Mayor Pryde Henry Teves, who
    himself was a Boy Scout, in his student days, and it was he who initiated and worked on the successful
    hosting of the event.

    The 1st One Visayas Jamboree was held at Camp Danao, Maasin City, Southern Leyte in 2010
    with this writer as the Camp Chief. The 2nd One Visayas Jamboree happened at Panaad Park, Bacolod
    City in 2012.

    Before the One Visayas, Eastern Visayas and Western Visayas Scouting Regions hosted their
    jamborees separately.
