TIWI, Albay — The first-ever Barangay Scouting Movement in the Philippines, Ticket to Life – Coro-Coro Scouting Unit celebrates its first founding anniversary with the theme “Barangay Scouting: Transcending Boundaries, Empowering Communities.”
Jubille Marlourd D. Lucena, Founder of Ticket to Life – Coro-Coro Scouting Unit (TTLCCSU) planned and signed a resolution on March 5, 2021, with the Sangguniang Kabataan Coro-Coro to organize a Scouting Unit in the barangay.
“21 years na akong naninirahan dito sa Coro-Coro, at ang buhay ng mga tao ay paulit-ulit na hindi umuunlad at sa paraan ng organisasyon na ito, naniniwala ako na babago ang takbo ng buhay ng mga nakatira dito sa Coro-Coro dahil kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” Lucena said.
The anniversary celebration kicked off with messages from the Scouters of the Unit, followed by the awarding of the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of Coro-Coro and special awards with Atty. Je Clerigo, who handles the case of the late Scout Jaderey Colarina.
“This year was a blast even if there are hardships and challenges that we face, but we remain still and dedicated. Here in Coro-Coro scouting unit, you were able to build skills and serve as a role model to all teens in the community.” Scouter Kenneth Peñaflor tells the Scouts.
