Today's Story

At 6 am we were asked by the committee to check in again to enter the campsite and start the PAB activities. Me and my friends from my group started to bring the necessary items for camping and the activities that will start later. We brought blankets to avoid mosquito bites when we slept, we brought eating utensils and also cooking utensils.

After finishing tidying up all the items in the tent, I decided to walk around to my friend’s tent to take pictures and make videos. After the clock showed 9 am, we were invited to follow the committee’s directions to enter the campus hall. We were given material that would be asked during the next activity. When it was 11 am and the call to prayer sounded, we were allowed to go home for zuhur prayer and lunch, but the next agenda was a carnival so we didn’t go back and we prepared it in the tent and we ate together in the tent.

After finishing preparing the models wearing the carnival costumes that we made a few nights ago, they were now displayed. We were directed to the hall field to line up in a long line according to the group. Before starting the event, we drew a lottery number first, and we got number 10. The event began and we started walking to the jury posts while singing the cheers that we had made.

After finishing at post one, we went to the next post by showing the cheers with movements and a little marching test. Next, we were invited to enter the corridor of the round building on our campus. This time the models will style to show the style of clothing that has been made and will be explained by the presenter in front of the jury later. The other participants sat sweetly watching the models with cheers and enthusiasm that were very lively.

Not long after, the asar call to prayer sounded and the participants who took part in the cooking competition were ordered to return to the tent to prepare their dishes. After the carnival event was over, we returned to our respective tents and were ready to go home for asar prayer and shower.

After finishing showering and praying, we returned to the tent and would do the next event, which was a bonfire ceremony. We formed a large circle and in the middle there was an officer reading the points of the scout’s dasa darma. After the bonfire ceremony was over, the next event began, which was pensi or art performance. The art performance tonight was very lively and lasted until 10 pm. After that, we were allowed to sleep in the tent and would be woken up tomorrow morning to perform the subuh prayer.
