HIGHLIGHT | Where Scouts Lead: TOBSPA’s Multi-Role Impact in Scout Youth Forums

The Scout Youth Forum (S*F) of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) is a cornerstone of its Youth Development Program, creating meaningful spaces where young people actively shape decisions. Held annually, it gathers Scouts to address pressing issues, craft collective resolutions, and advance these into the decision-making bodies of the National Scout Organization (NSO), while also conducting elections that empower youth to secure seats in the Local Council Executive Board (LCEB), Regional Scouting Committee (ResCom), and National Executive Board (NEB). Through these roles, Scout representatives go beyond occupying positions—they help shape institutions by ensuring policies remain grounded in grassroots realities and by bridging the gap between youth clamor and governance.

Through the years—and up to the present—many awardees of the Search for the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines have served as Scout representatives. They channel their Scouting excellence into action-driven leadership that advances governance forward. This includes members who have served as National Scout Representatives (NSR) to the NEB and Regional Youth Representatives (RYR) of the Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region (WOSM-APR), amplifying youth voices both at the national and international level.

In this forum season, Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines Association (TOBSPA) members have been actively present across all levels—Council Scout Youth Forum (CS*F), Regional Scout Youth Forum (RS*F), and even the National Scout Youth Forum (NS*F)—serving as participants, leading the organizing committee, forum advisors, and resource speakers.

The recently concluded NS*F, held from April 14 to 17, 2026 in Roxas City, Capiz, was marked by the strong presence of the association. The national forum was chaired by National Scout Representative for Visayas, Karl Vincent Manjares, TOBS 2025, under the guidance of Forum Adviser, Mark Leo Sales, TOBS 2022.

Notably, Atty. Matthew Java, TOBS 2008, delivered the keynote address during the opening ceremony, articulating a compelling vision anchored in service and excellence, setting an aspirational tone for the forum body.

This shows the sustained development of a culture of youth leadership within the Scouting movement. It also reflects stronger integration of youth perspectives in Scouting governance and program direction, as emphasized in World Scouting's (WOSM) framework on Youth Leadership in Decision-Making (YLiDM).

This continued engagement across levels accentuates a shift in Scouting where youth leadership is no longer symbolic, but steadily becoming a defining reality. It means that when Outstanding Scouts take their place in youth and policy spaces, their presence defines direction and drives meaningful change—most powerfully in the Scout Youth Forum, where Scouts take the lead.

Women in Scouting, You are Called to be Outstanding! 🌸⚜️

This Women’s Month, the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines Association (TOBSPA) proudly stands in recognition of women whose strength and vision continue to shape the future of the next generation.

Nearly 20 years since the issuance of BSP National Memorandum No. 47, s. 2006—which opened the doors for women to enter the Senior Scouting section—the movement has witnessed the rise of twenty (20) women recognized in the National Search for the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines.

Today, we celebrate the outstanding women in Scouting from the past two years (2024 & 2025 TOBS Search) who continue to live by the Scout Oath and Law, create meaningful impact in their communities, and redefine what strength and leadership truly mean.

30/03/2026

Women in Scouting, you deserve to be called Outstanding. 🌸⚜️

As the celebration of Women’s Month comes to a close, the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines Association (TOBSPA) proudly honors women whose pivotal and transformative roles continue to shape the future of Scouting and society at large.

PIVOTAL

Women by nature have always been outstanding. Across every institution, they do more than participate; they shape history, elevate standards, and lead with purpose.

Even long before modern recognition, women stood as leaders and keepers of knowledge, shaping the course of their communities. Women are not just part of society—they are the force that sustains and transforms it.

TRANSFORMATIONAL

In its long history, Scouting has transformed beyond its male-centric roots. From Baden-Powell’s vision to train young boys in character, outdoor skills, and citizenship to the inclusive spirit that it has reached worldwide, women are not just seen, but recognized and included in the movement. This transformation stands as living proof that women can awaken and reshape a world that once perceived them as weak.

This transformation is firmly anchored in policy. Boy Scouts of the Philippines National Memorandum No. 47 s. 2006 formalized the inclusion of women in the BSP. Now, nearly two decades later, it stands not just as a policy—but as proof that Scouting continues to evolve.

WOMEN IN "BOY SCOUTS"

Every year, a common question arises: why are women allowed to compete—and even win—in the National Search for the Ten Outstanding “Boy Scouts” of the Philippines?

Some argue that there should be a change in the name or title, or that women should be completely excluded. The persistence of such questions and arguments goes to show the continuing struggle of women to be recognized alongside men.

With or without a change in the name, title, or nature of the award, recognizing outstanding women in Scouting is not just a victory for them, but also for the movement and society at large.

WOMEN OF TOBSPA

This Women’s Month, the greater Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines Association (TOBSPA) proudly recognizes women who have helped shape a better future for the next generation.

Nearly 20 years since the issuance of the national memorandum that allowed women to enter the Senior Scouting section, the movement has witnessed the rise of twenty (20) women in the National Search for the Ten Outstanding “Boy Scouts” of the Philippines.

Since the first female awardee was recognized in 2016, women have continued to break barriers, redefine leadership, and demonstrate that excellence in Scouting knows no gender. Their achievements allow more young women to take up space and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.

Women in Scouting, you deserve to be called Outstanding. Always in all ways. 🌸⚜️
