My Scout Story. Steemit Participation Challenge, Week 1 by @miftahulrizky

Hello friends in the Scout community, how are you! I hope you are always in good health and well. First of all I want to say thank you very much to friends who have read this post. Well, on this occasion I would like to take part in a contest supported by the STEEMIT TEAM @steemitblog namely Steemit Engagement Challenge Season two Week 1 | My Scout Story

_{The bonfire burning ceremony was carried out solemnly, the bonfire burning troops simultaneously said "we are not fire worshipers, fire is a symbol of our spirit."}

When I talk to Scouts, I'm really good, hehehe. Moreover, I have been following the scouting organization since 2011. Of course, I have gone through many stories and experiences. Currently, I am also actively teaching scouts for high school students. In fact, I also often fill out invitations for scouting training in various schools. Of course with all that experience I don't want fairy tales here, these are important stories and facts that I will share with all readers about Scouting in Indonesia.

In our country Indonesia, every Scout member is obliged to carry out his promises and 10 good deeds. These promises and 10 good deeds are called the Tri Satya and Dasa Dharma Scouts. Many people wear Scout uniforms, but they cannot be called true Scouts if they do not keep their promises and good deeds. Wherever they are, people who have a Scout spirit always keep their promises and carry out 10 goodness.

This is the sound of Tri Satya, a promise that all Indonesian Scouts must obey: “For the sake of my honor, I promise to be serious in carrying out my obligations to God and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Indonesia, practice Pancasila, help others live and participate in building society, safeguarding the Dasa Dharma."

In the contents of the promise above, a Scout must keep the Dasa Dharma (10 Good Deeds), while the contents of the ten good deeds are as follows:

1. Fear of God Almighty prayer
2. Love of nature and love of fellow human beings
3. Courteous and courteous patriot
4. Obedient and likes deliberation
5. Willing to help and steadfast
6. Diligent, skilled, and happy
7. Thrifty, careful, and unpretentious
8. Discipline, brave and loyal
9. Responsible and trustworthy
10. Pure in thought, word and deed

In carrying out Scouting activities, such as camping, hiking activities, and ceremonial activities, a Scout must always maintain his attitude and behavior according to the contents contained in the 10 good deeds above. So in Indonesia, not everyone can be said to be a Scout even though he is already wearing a Scout uniform. But those who really keep their promises and practice all the good deeds are called true Scouts, people who have Scouting souls in their hearts.

In addition, the pattern of scouting education in Indonesia is very thick with semi-military activities, even each army and police unit has a scouting educational facility and container to teach young people scouting exercises according to certain skills. For example in the Navy, they train adult Boy Scouts in swimming, diving, and all other marine fields.

So, that was a glimpse of how Scouting in Indonesia is, in essence I am very grateful to know Scouts, because in this organization I have received a lot of attitude and mental development, growing self-confidence, forming disciplined attitudes, learning various skills, fostering a sense of togetherness and brotherhood. For this reason, the Indonesian government also requires all youth to join Scouts.

I did many exciting moments during my scouting activities and all of them were very useful. I will describe what the benefits are one by one here.

1. Camping: participating in camp activities is very useful to train our lives to be more independent, live as they are, and can also be used as recreation to understand the beauty of nature. There is a funny moment that I always remember when camping, one of the Scout members while sleeping let out a wind (fart), this made everyone in the camp have to get out because they couldn`t smell the aroma earlier. Hehehe.

2. Bonfire: we always carry out the bonfire burning ceremony, we usually do this ceremony on the final night of the camp, this ceremony is carried out by directing 10 officers who carry torches that have not been lit, then the first torch is lit by reading the first point of good deeds. The second torch is lit by reading the next point until then all torches are lit. after all the fires are lit, the bonfire arsonists will say, "we are not fire worshipers, fire is a symbol of our spirit." the benefits of this activity as a farewell event and as an evening devotional activity.

3. Jungle Cooking : At Scouts we also learn how to cook with minimal tools and materials, using all available natural resources. here we can learn to think critically and also learn how to cook.

4. First aid: activities in the wild will certainly face many challenges, therefore the science of first aid for oneself and to help others must be learned.

5. Hiking: It's important to learn to understand the signs of nature, that's why at Scouts we also learn how to use a compass to know the cardinal directions, and to make travel maps.

6. Survival in the wild: nature and the wild are very dangerous, therefore this knowledge also needs to be learned to save yourself both when getting attacked by wild animals and how to deal with emergency conditions that may occur.

Thus this short post, I hope friends like reading this article, thank you to all readers who come here.
