To celebrate 25 years of scouting in the country, over 1,200 students from schools in Thimphu Thromde and facilitators from various districts took part in a three-day Summer Nachung Camp. The camp, which ended today, allowed participants to engage and learn from each other while exchanging ideas.
Some of the activities taught during the camp include basic survival skills, first aid skills during emergencies, outdoor cooking skills, and the importance of teamwork and hygiene.
“Through this programme, we were able to learn about discipline, proper dress code, and table manners,” said Tandin Pem, a participant from Druk High School.
“After the completion of Summer Nachung Camp, I guarantee the kids will be able to gain skills, companionship and wholesome education besides academic knowledge,” said Choki Nima, the executive member of Thimphu Thromde Scouts Association.
The Thimphu Thromde Scouts Association organised the summer camp.
