A meaningful celebration of acceptance, commitment, leadership, service, and tradition โQuezon City High School's Senior Scouting Unit, Outfit No. 103, officially welcomed its newest members for S.Y. 2025โ2026 in a grand Investiture Ceremony held at the school's covered court yesterday, July 18, at 1:00 PM.
The ceremony officially began with the entrance of the Senior Scouts, followed by the presentation of colors. A sense of patriotic pride filled the venue as Sct. Christ Joseff T. Pagaran led the singing of โPilipinas Kong Mahal.โ This was followed by a heartfelt prayer from Sct. Enzo De Guzman and Sct. Misra Inglay. The spirit of nationalism continued as Sct. Venus O. Galapin led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine flag, honoring its significance with respect, dignity, and pride.
Dr. Remedios P. Danao, WBH, Principal IV of QCHS, delivered the opening remarks, emphasizing the vital role of scouting in shaping responsible and service-oriented youth. SL Gina Lyn N. Rasco, QCHS Scouting Coordinator, warmly presented the Kartang Pangtipon, officially marking the ceremonial start of the program.
Recognizing the vital role of family in a scout's journey, Engr. SL Angelo Magpusao, QCHS-SGPTA President, administered the Parents' Pledge of Support โ one of the program's most meaningful moments.
The event was honored by distinguished guests including SL Eugenio Errol S. Garcia, Council Scout Executive, and Engr. SL Angelo A. Magpusao, both of whom delivered inspirational messages to the scouts, underscoring the values of discipline, courage, and civic duty.
The highlight of the afternoon was the Formal Investiture, led by SL Erna C. Golveque, Outfit Advisor. The ceremony featured the symbolic lighting of candles, representing the Three Duties of a Scout and the Twelve Scout Laws, with each law proudly recited by selected Senior Scouts. This solemn ritual signified the new scoutsโ commitment to uphold and live by the Scout Oath and Law.
A heartfelt moment unfolded as parents personally tied the alampay (scarf) on their children โ now officially recognized as Senior Scouts. The scouts then recited the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, and the Senior Scout Code, reaffirming their solemn pledge to serve God, country and fellowmen.
To formally challenge and inspire the newly invested scouts, Engr. SL Angelo A. Magpusao delivered the Scout Challenge, urging them to uphold the values and principles of Scouting in their everyday lives.
The ceremony concluded with a closing message from SL Gina Lyn N. Rasco, emphasizing the importance of continued commitment, discipline, and service. The event was formally closed with a Scout Benediction by SL John Barrymore B. Dagle, followed by the singing of "Walking with B.P." as scouts and guests bid farewell.
Hosted by Sctr. Mary Ann T. Bayot and Sctr. Angelique R. AL, the event was a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Scouting in shaping the future of the youth and marking the beginning of a new chapter for the Senior Scouts.
Indeed, the Investiture Ceremony was not just a formal admission of scouts โ it was a celebration of growth, values, and unity, echoing the timeless spirit and unwavering pride of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. Congratulations to the newly invested Senior Scouts of Quezon City High School!
