III. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
a. Issues discussed:
Modification in the attainment of the Rizal Lore Merit Badge. It was brought
into discussion that there are certain requirementsin the merit badge that are
difficult to attain. These issues includes the visiting of historical landmarks in the
life of Rizal and the inconsistency of formal education curriculum in learning the
literary works of Rizal which could hinder the progress of a scout.

Revising the Boy Scouts of the Philippines Uniform Insignia Guidelines.

The general issue revolving around this resolution is the guidelines being
outdated and lacking of essential information.These includes the unwritten rules
in uniform, proper wearing of sash, merit badges, patches, and etc. that are
enforced in the organization which may be inconsistent to the guidelines
prescribed resulting in confusion.

Implementation of a Small Scale Water Purification-Filtration Systems in

Luzon to address the issues on equitable access to potable water. This
resolutions aims to implement a project that shall be established in the different
rural areas in Luzon, in coordination with the Local Government Units and the
Boy Scouts of the Philippines.

Enforcement of anti single-use plastic in scouting activities was reiterated

in the plenary for full implementation. It is written in the resolution that there
are existing proposals regarding the banning of anti singlue-use plastic in
scouting activities however, there are still no formal policy that supports this
pursuit.

Establishing an inclusive resolution for scouts with special needs such as

individuals classified as Person’s with Disability. It is the pursuit of this
resolution to put forward a policy that strengthens the inclusion of the Boy Scouts
in the Philippines by providing representation for differently-abled scouts and
creation of activities that are inclusive to their needs.
Implementation of Scout Exchange Programs in the inter-regional and/or
national levels. This resolution aims to provide opportunities for scouts to
connect with scouts from the different region to experience their ethnicities,
beliefs, cultures, and the like.
Establishment of the Philippine Scout Youth Forum Data Bank Website. It
has been a proposal from different commenced youth forums to create a data
bank that shall make an ease of access to the youth forum’s resolution. Hence,
this resolution strengthens the call to establish a database for the youth forum’s
resolutions.
Mandate of a quarterly general assembly for the Regional Scout
Representatives. This resolution describes that there is a lack of interaction
between the Regional Scout Representatives in Luzon which deters their
capacity to collaborate to one another. Conducting a general assembly may pave
way for the RSRs to assist each other in serving their designated regions.

strengthens the capacity of scouts to create a merit badge by filling out the Merit
Badge Proposal Form.

 Resolution No. 4. S. 2022

SUBJECT Scouting with Special Scouts: Scout Representation for

PWD Inclusivity

PROBLEM WHEREAS, the World Organization of Scout Movement

(WOSM), along with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines,
continues to hone and develop the skills of young individuals
to be effective citizens of their country. Additionally, the
scouting movement is a voluntary, nonpolitical, and
educational movement that welcomes all people, however,
must be strengthened such that it provides access or
representation to scouts of different sectors, specifically, the
differently-abled ones.

WHEREAS, the scouting environment stands as

inaccessible to people who are differently-abled; such as
those who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, health
impaired; and among others, thereby limiting their
participation opportunities;

WHEREAS, factors such as systems, policies, and activities

that lack or limit either the inclusion or the involvement of all
differently-abled people with special needs create barriers to
their accessibility in Scouting, thus contributing to the Boy
Scouts of the Philippines’ inclusivity.

Youth Development Program of the Boy Scouts of the
Philippines. This shall be headed by trained and appointed
Scouts and Scouters who are capable of dealing with

 Resolution no. 5. S. 2022

SUBJECT Kumusta ka, Luzon?: Assembly of the RSRs of Luzon

PROBLEM WHEREAS, the Regional Scout Representatives of Luzon

lack interaction outside of the NSYF, with it being almost the
only chance for them to meet formally.

WHEREAS, certain councils or regions have less activities

and repetitive projects within their respective areas
compared to the others.

WHEREAS, the Regional Scout Representatives and

Council Scout Representatives of each council and region
have little to no knowledge of the activities and projects
outside of their respective areas of concern, hence making it
difficult for them to create fresh and new ideas.

EXISTING PROJECTS - Assembly of the CSRs of NCR

- Various initiatives of local councils

AGENCIES INVOLVED - Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP)

RESOLUTION RESOLVED THAT, the elected Regional Scout

Representative for Luzon shall organize a general assembly
for the Regional Scout Representatives of the regions. This
will be held quarterly, meaning once every 3 months (or four
times a year). It will be a chance for RSRs to really get to
know each other and practice camaraderie. This will be held
virtually, unless a special occasion arises, such as an NSJ
or other National Activity that coincides with the interest of
the assembly.

RESOLVED THAT, the general assembly will be used for

growth and creativity rather than competition. This will be an
open space for young scout leaders to share ideas and
projects which will benefit other regions as well as their
associated local councils. It is a chance for each region to
take fresh ideas from a different perspective and from
varying cultures.

RESOLVED THAT, the Assembly itself will adopt the TOP-

DOWN method in the dissemination of information. The
RSRs are obligated to pass down the learnings and
inspiration from their assembly down to the smaller sectors
of scouting such as Council Level and Institutional

c. Venue
The venue for the plenary sessions for the National Scout Youth forum for Luzon
2022 was in the newly built Mindoro Heritage Museum conference hall. The
overall appearance was a clash of modern and traditional styles which the
participants found appealing. The environment helped produce a productive and
encouraged participations from the delegates. The venue also featured a
museum which the participants could visit if they choose to do so.

d. Forum 101 and Safe from Harm preliminaries

This year’s National Scout Youth Forum for Luzon featured 2 new topics in the
preliminary session which are the Forum 101 and the Safe from Harm policy.
The forum 101, discussed by the RSR for Luzon, Kurt James M. Quiambao,
focused on cultivating a healthy, non-competitive, active, non-toxic, and a more
united youth forum fostered by camaraderie. The safe from harm, discussed by
the RSR for Visayas, Mary Seantheim Chillin A. Patnubay, was an overview on
the WOSM’s safe from harm policy to ensure a much safer forum for the youth.

e. Listening Ear hotline

In relation to the Safe from Harm preliminaries, a listening ear hotline was given
to the scouts to voice out their concerns on possible violations of the Safe from
Harm policy. The participants were highly encouraged to report all sorts of harm
that threatens their safety. This became useful later on.

Merit Badge.” The secretary of the Organizing Committee was recognized to quash the
resolution for the reason that the proposed amendments could remove the uniqueness,
challenge, and purpose of the merit badge as this is an opportunity for scouts to venture the
lives and works of Rizal. Transforming the Rizal Lore Merit Badge to a digitized one could
affect the authenticity of the said badge as visiting the tangible heritages are imperative in
preserving the purpose of the badge. This motion was seconded and not objected, therefore

The second resolution entitled, “Revisiting the Guidelines of the BSP Uniform and
Insignia,” was read at 8:38 AM. The secretary of the Organizing Committee raised an

was raised and was approved by unanimity.
The third resolution with a subject, “Small-scale Water Purification-Filitration Systems
in Rural Areas in Luzon,” was presented at 8:45 AM. The Organizing Committee
Chairperson raised a motion to quash the resolution for the reason that this SPEAR is
viewed as a project proposal that can be implemented without approval. It is also in the
manifestation of the speaker to denounce that the forum body must focus on presenting
policies rather than project proposals. This motion was seconded and not objected.
Therefore, the motion was approved by the Organizing Committee.
The fourth resolution with was presented with a subject, “Scouting with Special
Scouts: Scouters’ and Scout Masters’ Congress on PWD Inclusivity.” The Organizing
Committee raised an expunsion of a certain provision in the resolution and thereby approved

Implementation of Scout Exchange Program,” was presented before the Organizing
Committee. This resolution was quashed by the Organizing Committee due to the feasibility

(MBPF).” This resolution was interpellated during the plenary and made few amendments.

course as this proposal can be beneficiary for all scouts to lobby their desired merit badges.

Forum Data Bank Website,” was read before the Organizing Committee at 8:59 AM. The
Organizing Committee proposed few amendments and eventually, the resolution was hereby
approved by unanimity.
At 9:02 AM, the eighth and last resolution was presented with a subject, “Kamusta
ka, Luzon?: A Quarterly Meeting with the RSRs.” An amendment was raised by the
Organizing Committee and eventually adopted the resolution. This proposal can serve as an
avenue for the Scout Representatives to collaborate for one another in pursuit of
accomplishing the goals of the movement.

The forum was a great experience. Scouts got
to meet and discuss with other scouts from
other regions throughout Luzon. The forum had
a very quick phase due to active participation
from the body and the effectiveness of the
presiding officers. The forum had helped the
scouts to create sound policies that would
greatly impact the organization. It started a
new and better culture of oneness and unity
amongst the scouts of Luzon.
