Engineer inspected the pioneering gadget. Our boys of Borivli did their best in the camp achieving maximum awards there. They bagged the fiplace in the pioneering event, second place in the skit theme presentation. Mst. Harshvardhan Iyer stood second in the quiz. We also stood third in the cultural dance, exhibition and the inspection of scouts.
This was an experience for all the participants of the camp. Being inspired by this camp Sir Nelson along with eight boys attended the 'Sixteenth National Jumboree' held at Shankarapally, Hyderabad, from the January 3 to January 9, 2011. It was indeed a massive affair with around eighteen thousand students participating. Mr. L.M. Jain, the national commissioner, inaugurated the event. We were lucky to have the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Kiran Kumar Reddy attend the event.
We thank our scout masters for accompanying the boys and training them for the same.
