Story

Last year, the Girl Scouts in our

district celebrated their anniversary with a
journey. The purpose or point of this trip was to
explore the virgin forests of Palawan. Since the
forests of Palawan have not yet been touched by
loggers.
 Many of the Girl Scouts who went were
independent girls and did not need help in doing
basic or essential things like cooking and hiking.

Learning the meaning of cooperation helped to

make their trip a success. By working together well,
most of them learned the value of preserving or
taking care of our forests to avoid floods and soil
erosion.
Ask:

 Who celebrated their anniversary?

 How did they celebrate their anniversary?
 What was the purpose of their trip?
 How can you describe a virgin forest?
 What value did the Girl Scout learn about the
forest?
 How will show your politeness at all times as one
of the value of Girl Scouts?
