Scouts from various parts of the Philippines have once again participated on the My World Global Survey of United Nations (UN) during the 6th National Scout Venture Camp (NSVC) of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) held at Lingayen, Pangasinan, May 5- 10, 2014.
Not minding the hot summer sun, Scouts participating on the 6th NSVC visited and participated in the MY World Global Voting Day and on the My World 2015 Global Week of Action. The MY World Youth volunteers put up a booth inside the Global Development Village, one of the main modules of the said camp, with known government and non-government organizations.
“I am encouraging the members of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines to participate and be aware on the MY World 2015 global campaign, a significant survey of the United Nations to create a better world. Let every voice be heard! Let us start to take action and mark a difference for our future! ”
This is not the first time the UN partnered with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines for the My World 2015 Global Campaign. Further, the said campaign has been active in various camps, events and jamborees since 2013. With this, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines was recognized by the World Organization of Scouting Movement (WOSM) for having 9786 votes as of May 7.
