Today's Story

This story will continue from yesterday, which is the preparation for camping. Because today each of us from my group has a class, we decided to continue making the carnival costumes after the opening ceremony.

After the class was over, I went straight to my cousin’s house who lives here. I borrowed a tarp for us to sleep on later in the tent. In the afternoon, we all participants of PAB were asked to check in first and then start building the tent for us to stay overnight. After checking in, we started to build our tent, starting from carrying the necessary items to build it, such as wood and rope.

Because not all of us have experience in setting up tents, we were helped by the committee to build the tent, even though it was only a little, it was very helpful. Of all the tents of the participants, we were the last to go home and the last to finish setting up the tent, because we only got a little help while the others got a lot of help or even were set up directly by the committee.

We were then allowed to go home, take a shower and get ready for the opening ceremony tonight. At 5 pm we had to be in the campus hall. I was already in front of the campus hall and I gathered in a group of my classmates and took the opportunity to take pictures for memories together.

The mosque began to play the recitation of the holy Quran and we were invited to enter and prepare for the maghrib prayer together. With the committee leading us, we performed the maghrib and isha prayers together. In between waiting for the isha prayer, we did sholawatan or read burdah.

After finishing the religious activities, the opening ceremony began. Starting from the introduction of the MC and the speakers who have authority in the campus scouts, such as the mentor or something like that.

After the opening ceremony was over, we continued to finish the carnival costumes that we would show tomorrow. Until around 11 pm we finished and returned to our respective homes or boarding houses.
