16 September 2013

The Philippines is a tropical country who experiences two seasons, it is the rainy and sunny season. When rainy season arrived, different diseases were spread especially when places experienced natural calamities such typhoons and floods. News started coming out in the televisions, radios and newspapers with the diseases that Filipinos. Some of these dreadful diseases encountered are leptospirosis who came from rats and the malaria and dengue form mosquitoes.

Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease of human. This disease doesn’t select the status of its victim. Any member of the society may suffer this disease.

Boy Scouts of the Philippines called the participation of Scouting Units to share in the massive effort in working hand-in-hand to minimize this deadly disease. The re-launching of the program Scouts against Dengue is reiterated for its third year to the scouting units through the regional and council offices of the BSP.

The San Vicente Elementary School supports the program and had conducted the school-based Scouts against Dengue campaign on September 16, 2013.

The following activities were conducted.

a. Clean-up Drive – the Scouts cleaned the school’s surroundings. They made sure that all trash bins were emptied and garbage was separated to Biodegradable, Non-Biodegradable and Recyclable containers. Making themselves good examples for their schoolmates will be a great help to make the school grounds clean and in order. Parents also participated on this activity.

b. Emptying stagnant water – Stagnant waters in flower pots, vases, bottles and containers were emptied and changed, to make sure that eggs and wrigglers of mosquitoes will be no longer live there. Bottles were turned upside down so that it will not catch water that the mosquito may lay their eggs.

c. Distribution of Handouts – the KID and KAB Scouts distributed a Health Advisory handout on Dengue to the parents. They also posted it to corners and bulletins in the school.

d. Self-Protection Measures – the Boy Scouts made lectures before the pupils on how to protect themselves against dengue.

e. OL-Trap – Scouts have set OL-Traps given by DOSTin classrooms and monitored the eggs caught by each container.

The Boy Scouting is a holistic approach through “learning through doing” and the progressive system of the activities and projects. The Scouts against Dengue is a good activity that makes them aware and does their share in helping minimize the deadly disease by clean-up drive, distribution of handouts and making lectures to their schoolmates.
