Korean Scouts on study tour in Tagum

TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte, Jan. 19  (PIA)---Five Korean Scouts  are in Tagum City to learn from their counterparts and  to observe how scouting  is done in the city.

Tagum City Boy Scouts of the Philippines Council Scouts Executive Rellene G. Dumlao this morning revealed that the Korean Scouts will be staying in Tagum City for six days after  spending the same benchmarking activities in Baguio City, in  Antipolo (Rizal) and in Calamba (Laguna).

They are also set to visit and spend time in Davao City after exploring scouting in Tagum City, Dumlao said.

 To start off their exposure trip to Tagum City, the Korean Scouts spent their Sunday (Jan. 18) at the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO) undergoing a training on firefighting.

This morning, they paid courtesy call to Tagum City Mayor Allan Rellon and met with members of the Sangguniang Panglungsod of  the city during SP’s session.

They are also scheduled tomorrow to visit a public school in the city to observe how classes are being handled.
 Apart from their encounters with fellow scouts in Tagum City, the Korean Scouts are set to experience river cruising at   the Libuganon River promoted by the city government as a tourist come-on and that they will be toured to Panas Waterfalls in nearby town of New Corella.

“Their visit has become an annual event since two years ago,”  Dumlao said explaining this year’s visit as the 3rd being hosted by Tagum City.

 “Every year they choose Tagum as one of the places (of their scouting visits) because they have a very good impress of us,” he said citing  a letter sent by the Korean Scouts.  (PIA 11/ Jeanevive Duron-Abangan)
