Thank you, Sir Efren P. Japag Jr., for your outstanding leadership, unwavering service, and heartfelt dedication to the Scouting movement. Your legacy will forever inspire the next generation of Scouts.๐ซก๐
I still remember my first days as a newbie in Scouting. I looked up to the seniors and thought, "I want to be the boss just like them." I thought leadership was about giving orders, being in charge, and standing tall above the rest.
But as time passed, I learned something that changed everything. I watched true leaders stay behind to help the slowest, carry the heaviest loads, and speak the softest words when others were struggling.
I realized that a leader isnโt a โboss.โ
A leader is a servant, a guide, a friend, and sometimes even a quiet supporter in the background.
Iโm proud of how far weโve all come. And though I may be saying goodbye, the spirit of Scouting and everything youโve taught me will stay with me forever.
Efren P. Japag Jr.
