Eastside, Isabela City, Basilan, in celebration of International Coastal Clean-Up Day.
The activity brought together senior scouts of Basilan National High School (BNHS), rover scouts, and scout leaders, in collaboration with the Isabela City Environment and Natural Resources Office, led by Engr. Rall Harvey Hadap and Maโam Dayang.
The participants worked together in collecting and properly managing waste along the coastal area, promoting environmental responsibility and community involvement among scouts.
After the actual clean-up, Engr. Hadap and several scout leaders facilitated a short process discussion with the scouts, emphasizing the importance of proper waste management, environmental stewardship, and sustained efforts to protect coastal areas.
The BSP-Basilan Council expressed its appreciation to Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ma. Laarni T. Villanueva, CESO VI, for supporting the activity through Division Scout Coordinator Ms. Jenny Tuazon.
The Council also extended its gratitude to Dr. Arnel B. Hajan for allowing BNHS scouts to participate in the activity. BNHS had the biggest number of participants, demonstrating the school's strong support for scouting and environmental conservation, through its Institutional Scout Coordinator, Mr. Christianvil T. Garcia, WBH.
The activity highlighted the scouts' commitment to community service and environmental responsibility, embodying the spirit of scouting through active participation in protecting and caring for the environment.
