52 Annual National Council Meeting

The annual council meeting is just like any other meeting where they conduct reportings, awarding, cultural shows and election.

I felt they could have done a better job with this annual convention.  The cultural shows should have been integrated to the whole affair since it was really too taxing listening to reports the whole day.  The first night show was really a blast and it could have been better if it was integrated during the opening ceremony.  The opening ceremony could have been more colorful.

The reports were exciting and challenging for me on a more personal level as I see the state of Manila Council as compared to the other councils who were accepting recognitions of various categories.  I was challenge to do better for the council as a member of the board.  But sadly only two members of the our board participated this event.

I would suggest that the regional leaders could have been given time for fellowship to strengthen relationship and maybe move to a level of strategic planning so that each region can strengthen the Scouting movement in their locality based on the new resolutions made by the National Executive Board.

Scouting is really the hope of our country for it aims to create a better world the mankind.
