HISTORY

History of the Rover Scout Movement in Lipa City Science Integrated National High School

Five years ago, the senior high school department of Lipa City Science Integrated was established. However, the institution faced a challenge in the scouting movement as the age difference between senior scouts would be too vast if senior high school students joined. To solve this issue, the institution adapted the existing rover scouting system, which was spearheaded by former Circle Adviser Sir X-handi Fallarna and Circle Leader Warren Leonor.

Over the years, the rover scouting movement in Lipa City Science Integrated National High School grew rapidly, even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The city council conducted online meetings and activities, which were also adopted by the institution's rover scouts. Through platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet, the rover scouts organized various activities such as forums, jambourettes, and workshops.

At present, the rover scouting movement within the institution is making significant strides, marked by continuous growth and prosperity. This progress can be attributed to the concerted efforts of the institution's circle manager and rover staff, who have been at the forefront of organizing various activities. Notably, the institution achieved a major milestone when the rover vigil succeeded in enlisting every senior high school boy as an official member of the rover scouting movement. Moreover, Lipa City Science's rover scouting movement has gained recognition from the Lipa City Council for being ranked 1st in the Public Secondary - SHS Scouting District for achieving 100% of the school potential in the 2023 membership campaign.

The institution's rover staff are committed to developing the skills of every rover scout through conducting various activities such as basic training courses on rescuing and first aiding, youth forums, and other activities. These initiatives are designed to enhance the capabilities of every rover scout in the institution. Alongside skill development, the Lipa City Science rover scouting movement places emphasis on instilling important values, promoting camaraderie, encouraging personal growth, and building character among its members.
