𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄 | 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬

Today, September 14, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, honoring the Cross as the instrument through which Christ revealed the depth of God’s love for humanity.

The Cross reminds us that suffering is not the end. Through His sacrifice, Jesus showed us the true meaning of love, forgiveness, humility, and selflessness. In the moments when we carry pain, anger, disappointment, and uncertainty, the Cross calls us to surrender our burdens to God, forgive those who have hurt us, and trust in His plan even amid our struggles.

To carry our own cross is not to walk alone. It is to remain faithful even when the journey becomes difficult, knowing that Christ walks with us every step of the way. The Cross is not a symbol of defeat, but a sign of love, hope, and salvation.

For us Scouts, the Cross also reminds us that service is a form of sacrifice. To live our commitment to God and country means being willing to give our time, strength, and talents for others—even when service is difficult or comes without recognition. In every act of kindness, every duty faithfully performed, and every person we choose to serve, may we learn to carry our crosses with courage and turn our faith into action.

May we carry the Cross, live our faith, and serve with love. ✝️

The Scouts of Dinalupihan came together in service during the solemn Marian Procession held on September 8, 2026, joining the faithful community of Dinalupihan in honoring La Niña de Dinalupihan.

With their Scout uniforms representing readiness, discipline, and service, the Scouts stood alongside the devotees throughout the procession, helping maintain order, assisting fellow participants, and contributing to a peaceful and organized celebration of faith. The streets of Dinalupihan came alive with prayers and the heartfelt cries of “Viva La Niña!” as devotees gathered in unity to express their faith, gratitude, and devotion.

Even the rain and flooded roads could not stop the faithful from continuing their journey. Every step became a testament to a devotion that remained steadfast despite the challenges brought by the weather. Amid the rain, the flooded streets, and the long hours of service, the scouts remained committed to their responsibilities.

Through their participation, the Scouts lived out their Duty to God and their commitment to serve others. They demonstrated that Scouting is not only about skills, leadership, and preparedness, but also about being present when the community needs a helping hand.

As the procession peacefully came to an end, the Scouts carried with them a deeper understanding of what it means to serve: to walk with others, to remain steadfast through difficulties, and to offer one's time and strength for something greater than oneself.

May this year's Marian Procession serve as a reminder that faith and service walk hand in hand, and that every Scout, wherever called to serve, can become an instrument of unity, peace, and compassion.

Viva La Niña de Dinalupihan!
Viva La Niña! Viva! 💙🙏🏻⚜️

Scouts from the Scouting Districts of Orani and Balanga City were invited for the solemn Orani Grand Marian Procession at the Minor Basilica and Shrine Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary of Orani on September 5, 2026, to help maintain order, guide pilgrims, and walk alongside the community in reverence of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary shouting "Viva La Virgen" were heard throughout the whole event as the sound of the church bells rang across the Plaza of Orani, echoing the deep faith of the devotees. Not only that, there were devotees from the whole province of Bataan, Zambales, Pampanga, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Cavite, and Ilocos Sur. They went to Orani not to devote, but to feel the deep presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to answer prayers, miraculous healings, and unwavering gratitude.

Despite the weather conditions, long hours of waiting, and a whole crowd of devotees, the Scouts managed to show unwavering commitment, discipline, and reverence throughout the solemn evening procession, ensuring a safe and organized event.

Through their participation in this grand tradition, the Scouts deepened their spiritual formation and put their Scout Oath into action—fulfilling their fundamental Duty to God through active service, unity, and reverence for holy traditions.

Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence that sustains us in our needs, and for your wisdom that guides the course of the universe.

We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation. We have not been good stewards of nature.
We have confused Your command to subdue the earth.

The environment is made to suffer our wrongdoings and now we reap the harvest of our abuse & indifference. Global warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption and other calamities occur in increasing number & intensity.

We turn to You our loving Father and beg forgiveness for our sins. We ask that we, our Loved ones and our hard-earned possessions be spared from the threat of calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You to inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of Your creation and generous neighbors to those in need.
Amen.

San Jose de Balanga and Virgen Milagrosa de Orani,
Patron and patroness of Bataan,
Ora pro nobis.

Scouts of Balanga City were tasked to provide service and assistance during the celebration of the Feast of San Roque at Barrio Tuyo, held on August 16, 2026, to help maintain peace, order, and safety throughout the procession.

Approximately 30 Scouts from different institutions of Balanga City participated in this activity. Despite the heavy rainfall, the Scouts did not let the weather stop them from fulfilling their duty and assisting in the procession with dedication and commitment. The Scouts continued to prioritize the safety of everyone rather than allowing the heavy rain to discourage them. Even when the rain became so strong that some of them could barely see anything in the road, they still chose to remain and continue serving.

Through this experience, the Scouts strengthened their spirit of service, responsibility, teamwork, and faith. They showed that true service is not measured by how easy the situation is, but by the willingness to help, support one another, and continue serving others, despite the challenges.

Always remember: Even when things get difficult, choose to keep fighting, keep moving forward, and remain committed to duty.
