YMCA of Pamunugama has a fact to be proud being the first YMCA scout group in Sri Lanka as well as the first YMCA guides group. It has not being a month since the guides of Pamunugama conducted a three day camp in the YMCA grounds. This camp has motivated the boys in a grand way to get the YMCA Scout programme up and running again.
18 young boys got together and conducted a scout camp under the guidance of Pamunugama leaders and staff on 8th and 9th. Since the boys were new to scouting, camp was conducted in a way that boys could learn basic things on scouting (conduct of a meeting, basic knots, outdoor cooking, etc) and enjoy the nature while living outside.
Group was divided into 3 petrols and they were named as penguin, eagle and ostrich. These petrols will work in groups in the scout programme and their meetings will be held on Saturdays following the ongoing Children's Club meetings. During the camp petrols made their own tent and cooked for themselves which gave a lot of fun and team spirit to the new petrols. Camp-fire was held in the evening with number of items including comedy dramas and songs.
