“I am confident that we can deliver a one-of-a-kind National Scout Jamboree,” Mayor Palmares said during the opening ceremony of Camp Pagsusubok 2023 at the Pintados de Passi Grand Arena on Nov. 10.

 

Palmares was proud to look back on his humble dream, and his work to achieve it after convincing the National Executive Board that the City of Passi is a capable host of the 18th National Scout Jamboree. Camp Pagsusubok meanwhile, is a traditional affair that served as kick-off to the national event.

 

Camp Pagsusubok is also as a dry run to test the preparedness of the host, identify and clarify the roles of all involved, and identification of the additional needs to mitigate any untoward incidents.

 

The 3-day activity will feature scout fellowship, mock parade, skills training, campfire, evaluation, and feedback to test the facilities and the readiness of venue for the upcoming national event in December.
