To where does your compass lead you around Camp Himaya? What places have you been so far? Did you know that the Literacy and Numeracy (LitNUm) booth is a place worthy of visit?

LitNum booth opens its way to invite scouts with a gallery walk showcasing ‘Maragtas sang Himamaylan’. Next, in the main venue are arrays of reading materials from big books to hanging, printed stories, a reading pantry, and word games. Serving as a side fence of the enclosure is a long table holding exciting and challenging Mathematical games such as Tower of Hanoi, Rubik’s Cube, chess, and Jenga. Meanwhile, on the outer skirt of the booth are arrangements of Sudoku puzzles and DaMath boards, and the most patronized Chips on a Board game. A colorful mat was even laid on the grass floor with reading collections along with cozy chairs.
