Two investiture ceremonies were held for both Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) and Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) members of the Elementary and Junior High School levels of Hua Siong College of Iloilo at the Ty Eng Liong Gymnasium, Ledesco Campus last November 10, 2023.

The GSP Investiture was conducted in the morning and was attended by the Star, Junior, and Senior Scouts who recited the Girl Scout Promise and Law with the pinning and march to end the program.

The ceremony was led by Mrs. Nida Moreno and Ms. Chelle Denise Huyaban, guided by the GSP members, Mrs. Helen Deguma, council board member, Commissioner on Training, Ms. Irrah Davacol, council board member, Young Representative, and Mrs. Gudelia V. Coo, council board member and Vice President for International Affairs.

Moreover, the BSP Investiture followed in the afternoon, where the Kab, Boy, and Senior Scouts recited the pledges and principles of scouting.

The BSP ceremony was spearheaded by Mr. Jaycee Dela Mar, BSP coordinator of the Ledesco Campus, and Ms. Kimberly Cabangon, BSP coordinator of the Main Campus, guided by BSP member, Mr. Jolly A. Cabangon, council board member.

“It is heartwarming to see the Girl Scouts getting invested and welcomed to the sisterhood of scouting, ready to take on leadership roles inside and outside the school. One of our school’s goals for providing quality education for our learners, is to not just excel in academics but to produce empowered young women in service of the school and the community. We hope that our girls will engrave their promise in their hearts and be the change the world needs,” Mrs. Moreno said.

Subsequently, the scouts gathered in the Ledesco Campus for an overnight camp where they participated in various team-building activities.

Hua Siong College of Iloilo hopes that the Red Phoenixes will be of service to the community as official members of the GSP and BSP associations.
