Senior Scouts from Matlang National High School were present at the Leyte Council Survival Camp 2026 held at Villa Magsaysay Elementary School, Babatngon, Leyte, on May 24-26.

The survival camp brought various activities such as navigation, shelter building, and emergency and safety training on day one. Hiking on the second day, and an obstacle course on the last day.

The following scouts participated in the survival camp:
VS (Venturer Scout) Jose Mari Mayor
OS (Outdoor Scout) Myls Edren Delos Angeles, Justin James Eparwa, Harun Sirimalwatha, James Ambrose Dejaño, Vige Niez

The scouts successfully showcased their skills, demonstrating their dedication and the results of their training while reaching new heights and aiming to continue their journey.

"It was tough and hard for me, especially because it was my first time. We were tasked to sleep in the wilderness without our tents. But even though it was tough, we still gained new memories and are closer to our goals than ever,” Scout Dejaño shared after the encampment.

The success of these scouts serves as a milestone not just for the participants, but for the entire organization of the Senior Scouts of Matlang National High School.

“As their outfit advisor, I am proud of how they represented our school with confidence, responsibility, and determination. They demonstrated outstanding performance throughout the Survival Camp and showed discipline, teamwork, resilience, and leadership despite the challenges they encountered during the activities,” said Sctr. Stella Mariz Daffon, Outfit Adviser.

Salvation Through Christ’s Resurrection

Easter Sunday also known as Resurrection Day, is celebrated to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This pivotal event, occurring three days after His crucifixion, powerfully demonstrates Christ's ultimate triumph over sin and death. It stands as the ultimate proof of Christ's divine nature and His power over death, forming the very bedrock upon which Christian belief is founded.

Through this resurrection, believers are offered the profound hope of salvation and eternal life. Easter Sunday is a joyous testament to God's immense love and His promise of redemption—symbolizing new beginnings and spiritual rebirth for all who place their faith in Christ.
