Scouts at the Pre-Jamboree Camp 2023 took part in a number of activities and field trips to broaden their experiences and knowledge of local culture and traditions.
The three-day camping programme included a visit to the Islamic Da’wah Centre (PDI) and the Youth Centre in Bandar Seri Begawan.
During the visit to the PDI, scouts were briefed on showcases on Islamic history hosted at the centre’s gallery, as well as given information on courses offered by the PDI.
Later, one group of scouts participated in a swimming activity while another took part in traditional music activities at the Youth Centre, where they learnt about gulingtangan and its associated instruments.
Scouts also took part in camp activities, including learning knots, symbols, treasure hunting and making woggles (a device used to fasten a scout’s neckerchief). – Lyna Mohamad
