Grade 4–10 BSP and GSP Investiture
October 4, 2025
The Grade 4–10 Scout Investiture began exactly at 1:00 PM with the entrance of colors, followed by a prayer led by Scarlet Abias. Afterward, everyone sang the Lupang Hinirang and the beloved Hawks Hymn before the colors exited the area. Ma’am Ayen Buyayucan delivered an opening speech that warmly welcomed everyone, including the band, drums, lyres, and majorettes who performed and filled the place with excitement. Ma’am Olive Paulin then shared an inspiring message, reminding all Scouts to always be kind, helpful, faithful, and respectful.
A solemn candle lighting ceremony took place before the Scouts received their neckerchiefs. Three students — Jasper Bu-ucan, Shane Abiva, and Justin Greg Mendoza — lit the main candles, each representing the core values of Scouting. Afterward, every Scout received their own candle, symbolizing light, guidance, and service. The ceremony continued with the recitation of the Scout Rules and Promises: the Boy Scout Rules were led by Xian Jiro Ariola, followed by the Boy Scout Promise led by James Riley Clemente. Then, the Girl Scout Rules were led by Aadi Rhyme Aguirre, and the Girl Scout Promise was led by Princess Sharleene Castillo.
Everyone felt proud as the Scouts received their neckerchiefs from their parents and guardians, officially welcoming them into the Scouting family. After the ceremony, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts were divided into four groups and proceeded to their assigned rooms to create their own yells and flags. Meanwhile, pairs from each group joined an exciting treasure hunting game around the school. The Girl Scouts’ treasure hunt was won by Group 3 – Patrol Rosas, while the Boy Scouts’ treasure hunt was won by Group 2 – Patrol Wolf Warriors. In the flag-making contest, Group 4 – Rosas won for the Girl Scouts, and Group 3 – Agila won for the Boy Scouts. For the yell performance, Group 2 – Lily took the win for the Girl Scouts, while Group 4 – Leon claimed victory for the Boy Scouts.
The event ended with laughter, cheers, and smiles — a day filled with teamwork, joy, and pride for all the Scouts.
